Voters Now Trust Republicans More than Democrats on Economic Issues
Monday, June 08, 2009
Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on six out of 10 key
issues, including the top issue of the economy.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45%
now trust the GOP more to handle economic issues, while 39% trust
Democrats more.
This is the first time in over two years of polling that the GOP has
held the advantage on this issue. The parties were close in May, with
the Democrats holding a modest 44% to 43% edge. The latest survey was
taken just after General Motors announced it was going into bankruptcy
as part of a deal brokered by the Obama administration that gives the
government majority ownership of the failing automaker.
Voters not affiliated with either party now trust the GOP more to handle
economic issues by a two-to-one margin.
Separate Rasmussen tracking shows that the economy remains the top issue
among voters in terms of importance.
Republicans also now hold a six-point lead on the issue of government
ethics and corruption, the second most important issue to all voters and
the top issue among unaffiliated voters. That shows a large shift from
May, when Democrats held an 11-point lead on the issue.

For the eighth straight month, Republicans lead on national security.
The GOP now holds a 51% to 36% lead on the issue, up from a seven-point
lead in May. They also lead on the war in Iraq 45% to 37%, after leading
by just two points in May and trailing the Democrats in April.
Fewer voters see national security as a very important issue this month,
but confidence that the United States and its allies are winning the War
on Terror is at its highest level since February.
Republicans lead the Democrats on immigration for the third straight
month, pulling ahead to a 35% to 29% advantage on the issue.
On taxes, the GOP leads the Democrats for the fifth straight month, 44%
to 39%. In May and April, Republicans held six-point leads on the issue.
Democrats continue to hold the lead on the issues of health care, Social
Security and education. While Democrats have a 10-point advantage on
health care, that’s down from the 18-point lead the party had a month
ago.
Democrats lead by six points on Social Security, down from nine points
in May. The parties were tied on the issue in April.
On education, Democrats hold a 44% to 37% lead over Republicans.
The parties are tied on the issue of abortion for the second straight
month, each earning 41% support from voters.
