The October Rasmussen Trust numbers. (Ten for ten)
Rasmussen hasn’t written the article yet – but they put the new numbers on their BY THE NUMBERS page. And it’s not pretty for Democrats:
| October 2009 | September 2009 | ||||||
| Issue | Dem | GOP | Diff | Dem | GOP | Diff | Shift |
| Health Care | 40% | 46% | (6) | 44% | 44% | - | (6) |
| Education | 38% | 43% | (5) | 45% | 40% | 5 | (10) |
| Social Security | 37% | 45% | (8) | 43% | 41% | 2 | (10) |
| Abortion | 35% | 47% | (12) | 37% | 44% | (7) | (5) |
| Economy | 35% | 49% | (14) | 39% | 47% | (8) | (6) |
| Taxes | 35% | 50% | (15) | 40% | 48% | (8) | (7) |
| Iraq | 31% | 50% | (19) | 37% | 47% | (10) | (9) |
| Nat’l Security | 31% | 54% | (23) | 39% | 51% | (12) | (11) |
| Gov’t Ethics | 29% | 33% | (4) | 34% | 35% | (1) | (3) |
| Immigration | 33% | 40% | (7) | 33% | 45% | (12) | 5 |
Note the dives on… everything, really, except immigration issues: the GOP increased its lead in 9 out of 10 categories since last month. But particularly note the Health Care, Social Security, Economy, and Taxes numbers. Does the Democratic Party feel like demonizing their opponents on health care rationing some more? – because I think that the GOP can somehow manage to find the strength to keep bearing up under the Democrats’ scorn.
