The survey portrays a broadly pessimistic mood in the country this spring as higher gasoline prices, sliding home values and a disappointing employment picture have raised fresh concerns about the pace of the economic recovery.&#8221; By the way, in something that was somewhat uplifting, there was another poll out there.<\/p>\n<p>Sixty percent of the American people don\u2019t believe there is a recovery. It ought to be 100%, but I\u2019ll take 60, the way things are going. There isn\u2019t a recovery, and there hasn\u2019t been one. &#8220;By 2 to 1, Americans say the country is pretty seriously on the wrong track, and nine in 10 continue to rate the economy in negative terms.&#8221; Ah, it\u2019s this poll. &#8220;Nearly six in 10 say the economy has not started to recover, regardless of what official statistics may say, and most of those who say it has improved rate the recovery as weak. New Post-ABC numbers show Obama leading five of six potential Republican presidential rivals tested in the poll. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"389\" height=\"232\" class=\"alignright\"\/>&#8220;But he is in a dead heat with former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who formally announced his 2012 candidacy last week, making jobs and the economy the central issues in his campaign.&#8221; Mike, stand by. I\u2019m gonna change up the audio sound bite order as soon as I find the sound bite that I want you to use, and I just found it. Grab audio sound bite number 19. Last Friday in Manchester, New Hampshire, at the University of New Hampshire, Romney held a town hall meeting, and during the Q&amp;A somebody stood up and said, &#8220;Nearly all the other candidates suggest that there is no scientific consensus on climate change. Some insist that it\u2019s not even occurring! We can\u2019t have a meaningful discussion about solutions until there\u2019s agreement about the problem. Will you, sir, state now that under a Romney administration, global warming will be accepted as reality, and this reality will form the foundation for all climate and energy policy?&#8221; And here\u2019s what Romney said&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>ROMNEY: I believe the world is getting warmer. I can\u2019t prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer &#8212; and &#8212; and number two, I believe that humans contribute to that. I don\u2019t know how much our contribution is to that \u2019cause I know there\u2019s been &#8212; there have been periods of &#8212; of greater heat and &#8212; and warmth in the past, but I believe that we contribute to that, and so I think it\u2019s important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and the global warming that you\u2019re seeing.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Bye-bye, nomination. <\/p>\n<p>Bye-bye nomination. <\/p>\n<p>Another one down. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re in the midst here of discovering that this is all a hoax. The last year has established that the whole premise of manmade global warming is a hoax, and we still have presidential candidates who want to buy into it! Why? &#8216;Cause in New Hampshire they obviously care about it. So you go to Iowa say and you say, &#8220;Hey, by the way, I\u2019m all for ethanol subsidies.&#8221; Then you go to the Florida and say, &#8220;Hey, you seasoned citizens, I\u2019m all for never-ending Social Security!&#8221; Wherever you go, whatever they care about there is what you\u2019re for. I saw this&#8230; I couldn\u2019t believe this when I saw it. People in New Hampshire for some cockamamie reason want to believe in global warming. There was snow on the summit of Hawaii\u2019s biggest mountain, Mauna Kea, after a thunderstorm dropped inches of ice this morning.<\/p>\n<p>In Hawaii! <\/p>\n<p>(sigh) Believe climate change is manmade? This is like a throwaway. Then we see in this poll that all of a sudden Romney\u2019s on the top? So I guess Washington Post liked that answer and put Romney at the top. &#8220;This is what we want to hear of a Republican nominee!&#8221; This is what we want to hear.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Washington Post today: &#8220;Obama Loses Bin Laden Bounce;
