party before country (7)



22. Do you think the recent disagreements in Washington about raising
the debt ceiling were mostly about doing what was best for the country
or mostly about gaining political advantage?


Best for country 14% Political advantage 82%


=======

13. Who do you think is mostly to blame for most of the current federal
budget deficit ? 1. the Bush administration, 2. the Obama
administration, 3. Congress,

Bush 44%
Obama 15%
Congress 15%

==============

23. As a result of the debt ceiling negotiations in Washington, do you
think the image of the United States in the world has gotten better,
gotten worse, or have the debt ceiling negotiations had no effect on
the
image of the United States in the world?


8/2-3/11 better 5% Worse 71% no effect 22%

=========

25. Who do you blame more for the difficulties in reaching an agreement
on the debt ceiling ? the Republicans in Congress or Barack Obama and
the Democrats in Congress?

Republicans 47% Obama and Dems 29% Both 20

================

Generally speaking, do you usually consider yourself a Republican, a
Democrat, an Independent, or what?

8/2-3/11 GOP 24 (down 3% since Jan.) Dem 33% (down 2% since Jan)
Independent 39% (up 7% since Jan. up 5% since June)

=====================

Tea party winning friends!


How would you describe your views on most political matters? Generally,
do you think of yourself as liberal, moderate, or conservative?

8/2-3/11 22 Con (same as June) 43% Liberal (up 6% since June Highest
since '08 election time) 32 Moderate (down 2% since June)


and yet we will be told the elections will be close...
