Rasmussen: Voters Trust Republicans More On 10 Top Issues
- 0 Comments
Rasmussen reports that for the first time in recent years, voters trust Republicans more than Democrats on all 10 key electoral issues regularly tracked by Rasmussen. The GOP holds double-digit advantages on five of them.
Republicans have nearly doubled their lead over Democrats on economic issues to 49% to 35%, after leading by eight points in September.The GOP also holds a 54% to 31% advantage on national security issues and a 50% to 31% lead on the handling of the war in Iraq.
Most notably, voters trust of Republicans over Democrats extends even to health care - giving the edge to Republicans 46% to 40%.
And this is before the Dems try to ram through the public option, which will surely give voters greater pause for supporting Democrats in 2010 and 2012, as they learn more about the “option” part of the public option being nothing more than a stalking horse for a single-payer system with fewer benefits, rationed care, and a degraded medical care system compared to what America now enjoys.

President Obama has said repeatedly that those who claim that healthcare reform will ultimately lead to a government take-over of the health system are not telling the truth. So are these Democrat supporters of the President’s plan not telling the truth?
