We all know entitlement reform isn't popular really, but maybe if voters are asked to choose between "a rock and a hard place" it may get more support.<br /><br />Also, ask them if they think the budget can be balanced without cutting medicare -aid and social security and without raising taxes. Anyone who has seen the budget can tell you it's not possible, so it would be interesting to see if voters are informed about this (my guess is they are not). Also interesting to see if Republicans, independents or Democrats are more well-informed about the issue. I'm afraid a surprising amount of Republicans think the budget can be balanced just by cutting funding for NPR and Planned Parenthood.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368456662911294140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-5788980220105980472011-04-27T23:03:33.955-05:002011-04-27T23:03:33.955-05:00As David Weigel suggested, why not see how many Re...As David Weigel suggested, why not see how many Republican voters believe that Obama might be the antichrist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-35694930503583754282011-04-27T16:20:34.369-05:002011-04-27T16:20:34.369-05:00In Missouri Peter Kinder should be tested for sena...In Missouri Peter Kinder should be tested for senator as well as governor.

See if the rather damning report on embezzlement and corruption in his department has penetrated the public consciousness.<br /><br />In both states, for the sake of comparison do the 'wish the South won the Civil War' and 'NAACP vs KKK' questions. Neither state is a hotbed of Confederate sympathizers or black/white racial tensions, so they could give indicators of what a 'normal' state thinks on those questions. Arizona has a different set of racial tensions, admittedly.NRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565160695480579309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-20130325716992678372011-04-27T01:34:41.675-05:002011-04-27T01:34:41.675-05:00Illinois, Alabama, and Louisiana probably never.
