Desde el 2000 Gallup le ha preguntado a los votantes Americanos acerca de cual era el problema mas grande que US enfrentaria en los proximos 25 anios. Los americanos dijeron que era el deficit. Y el mes pasado, 8 de cada 10 Americanos dijeron que el deficit era extremadamente importante o muy importante.
Mas malas noticias para Obama y los democratas ayer cuando se dieron a conocer los resultados de los grupos de opinion en Iowa, Ohio, New Jersey, Arkansas y Florida.
Un reporte de esos grupos emitido por el grupo Resurgent Republic mostro que tanto los independientes como los participates del grupo tea party denuncian apasionadamente el gasto del gobierno y el deficit, usando palabras como: descontrolado, irresponsable, innecesario y inutil. La evidencia sugiere que ambos grupos se mantienen profundamente excepticos del estimulo fiscal de Obama y no estan convencidos de los argumentos dados por el gobierno.
Ambos grupos casi unanimamente dice que es el gasto irresponsable del gobierno y no la falta de recoleccion de impuestos el responsable del deficit. Este resultado va directamente en contra de las creencias filosoficas mas profundas de los democratas" gobierno mas grande e impuestos mas altos.
Since 2000, the Gallup organization has asked voters what they believe will be the most important problem for the U.S. in 25 years. This year Americans are saying the challenge will be the deficit. And last month, almost eight in 10 voters surveyed by the Associated Press called the federal budget deficit an "extremely" or "very important" issue.
There was more bad news Tuesday for Democrats from recent focus groups conducted in battleground congressional districts in Iowa, Ohio, New Jersey, Arkansas and Florida.
A report on these focus groups issued this week by Resurgent Republic (a group I helped found) showed that both political independents and tea party participants passionately denounced federal spending and deficits, using words like "reckless," "out of control," "unnecessary" and "unhelpful." The evidence suggests that both groups remain deeply skeptical of Mr. Obama's stimulus package and are unpersuaded by the administration's arguments in its favor.
The authors of the Resurgent Republic study concluded that both independents and tea party voters believe "nearly unanimously" that reckless government spending, not lack of tax revenues, is responsible for the deficits. This goes to the very heart of the modern Democratic agenda with its guiding philosophy of bigger government and higher taxes.
All of this negative news is wearing on the president. At the G-20's concluding
