\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s also, ladies and gentlemen, there\u2019s another poll. Actually a couple of polls out there. Voter opposition to Obama is at a 16-year high. Voter opposition to Obama is worse than voter opposition ever was to George W. Bush. Now, you wouldn\u2019t know this because the Drive-Bys of course are not talking about it. They\u2019re not reporting it on a daily basis. They have not been reporting Obama\u2019s decline in favorability with the American people and the people who voted for him, like they chronicled it with Bush multiple times a day, much less multiple times a week. <\/p>\n

<\/a>The AP has a funny story<\/a>. Well, it\u2019s funny in the way it\u2019s reported. The headline: “Americans Worry — Can Government Protect Us?” And what\u2019s funny about this, this is an AP story reporting an AP poll. And you have to dig hard to find the numbers, because they\u2019re so bad. For example, in one result they use the term “nine in 10.” Nine out of 10 Americans, blah, blah. Instead of saying 90%. They have really reduced the use of numbers in this piece so that the low-information crowd will not realize the full impact of it. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing that worries about it. This is gonna featured with details coming up here. But the thing that worries me about this, we\u2019ve talked about this in terms of the Millennials before. It used to be, and it wasn\u2019t that long ago, if you had a poll that showed something like nine out of 10 Americans worry that government can\u2019t protect \u2019em, that would automatically redound nagatively to Democrats. But it doesn\u2019t today, necessarily, as we have found. <\/p>\n

The Millennials, for example, are losing faith in America, not the Democrat Party, not Obama. They are responding negatively poll after poll to Obama policy after Obama policy after Democrat Party policy, and it isn\u2019t working for \u2019em, and they\u2019re very down and out about their futures. But they think it means the country\u2019s best days are behind us. They don\u2019t associate it, at least a significant number of them don\u2019t, associate that failure of government with failure of the Democrat Party. For some reason — well, it\u2019s not for some reason. We know why. They do not associate the Democrat Party with the party of Big Government. <\/p>\n

Now, stop and think. How could the Republicans have possibly lost that? The Republican Party used to be known as the party of limited small government, and by virtue of that the Democrats were known government as the part of Big Government. That\u2019s not automatic anymore. That is a huge branding loss. Anyway, details on all of that and more are coming up. <\/line><\/p>\n

But that nine out of 10 number, by the way, that the AP refuses to call 90%, 90% of those polled say they are likely to vote in the November election and say the economy is an extremely or very important issue, which would not redound well to the party in power, which in this case is the party in the White House. But even the poll question, “Can government protect us?” What does government not have a hand in anymore? <\/p>\n

When you get right down to it, what does government not have a hand in? The government\u2019s hand is in virtually everything you do, including what you say, including, if Michelle Obama had her druthers, what you eat. The government\u2019s determining what kind of car you drive or want to. The government\u2019s determining the lightbulb ban. Can government do enough to save us? Can government protect us? And you\u2019ve got Ebola. The government\u2019s got its hands in the name of the Washington Redskins. The government\u2019s got its hands in whatever\u2019s going on the NFL, be it concussions or domestic abuse. <\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s a poll at TheHill.com<\/a>: “Democrats Start to Point Fingers.” And this one\u2019s kind of surprising because of the source, TheHill.com, talking about trouble in the Democrat Party and Democrat paradise. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: “Angry and frustrated voters are planning to use the midterm elections in one month to tell President Obama they oppose his agenda, the highest ‘no vote\u2019 percentage in the last 16 years measured by Gallup. The polling outfit found that 32% of voters want to send a message of opposition with their vote, compared to just 20% who are sending a signal of support.<\/p>\n

“That is 13 points higher than in 1998 when former President Clinton was headed to impeachment for lying about his sex affair with” Monica Lewinsky, and it\u2019s higher “than in 2008, when Americans were tired of President Bush\u00c2\u2019s military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.” I know. Don\u2019t get me started on that again. They were “tired” of it because they\u2019d been talked into it for five years. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, this question is not new. It was first asked by Gallup back in 1998. Question reads this way: “‘Will your vote for a candidate be made in order to send a message that you SUPPORT Barack Obama, be made in order to send a message that you oppose Barack Obama, or will you NOT be sending a message about Barack Obama with your vote?\u2019 Not surprisingly, Republicans want to use their vote as a megaphone of opposition,” and then begun quotes the numbers here. <\/p>\n

The story is in the Washington Examiner, but it is a huge number here. It\u2019s a 16-year high. People are actually responding to a question about whether or not their vote is specifically a message of opposition to Obama. It\u2019s a huge number. It\u2019s the biggest, I think, since Gallup has been asking the question. It\u2019s not that long ago, 1998. Republicans have, I\u2019m sure, strategists and consultants and pollsters which have told them something similar to this. That is one of the reasons why the Republicans are just standing mute and not saying anything. <\/p>\n

They think that by opening up they might make of themselves targets, and they really believe the more they\u2019re invisible, the more they\u2019re not even on people\u2019s minds, the better the outcome will be. I understand that, by the way, but I still think it\u2019s just a tremendous opportunity. I mean, look, you\u2019ve got a record high number of people who claim that their vote is to send a message of opposition to Barack Obama. To me, that\u2019s a golden opportunity to build on it, expand the number of people by virtue of education. <\/p>\n

Here again, it seems to be a large number of people just waiting for a connection. You know, the majority opposition to Obamacare seems to me to have always been an opportunity for the Republicans to connect with a majority of the American people on something, Obamacare. Another one is the economy and jobs. There are any number of things that people oppose in great numbers what Obama is doing, a majority. <\/p>\n

Immigration\u2019s another made to order, but of course we know where the Republicans are on that. But they are passing up these opportunities to forge a connection with a majority body of thought. I can\u2019t help but think it\u2019s a missed opportunity. It\u2019s an opportunity to actually forge an alliance with people and let them know you think the same way, you\u2019re on the same page with \u2019em. But they\u2019re opting to stand mute. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s an American people survey that says the American people worry that the government can\u2019t protect us. Really? The government\u2019s gonna protect us from sexual assault here. I mean, they can\u2019t protect us from Ebola apparently, and they apparently can\u2019t protect us from terrorism, but, boy, they can sure protect us from date rape and they can protect us from sexual assault. They really get going on that. <\/p>\n

“Americans lack confidence in the government\u2019s ability to protect their personal safety and economic security, a sign that their widespread unease about the state of the nation extends far beyond politics, according to the latest Associated Press-GfK poll.”<\/line><\/p>\n

I referenced this poll at the beginning of the program. They don\u2019t use any numbers. The numbers are so devastating that AP tries to report their poll without using numbers. They used the term “nine in 10” instead of the stronger “90%.” <\/p>\n

“Widespread unease about the state of the nation extends far beyond politics.” “Widespread unease” instead of using the number. <\/p>\n

A couple of pull quotes. “The poll found that Democrats tend to express more faith in the government\u2019s ability to protect them than do Republicans. Yet even among Democrats, just 27 percent are confident the government can keep them safe from terrorist attacks.”<\/p>\n

Now, why isn\u2019t that a headline? The headline to the story: “Americans Worry — Can Government Protect Us?” The Democrats in the poll, which the AP says, hey, the Democrats have a lot more faith in government than the Republicans, right? And then you get to the number and you find out it\u2019s only 27% of Democrats are confident the government can keep them safe from terror attacks. And then it says: “Fewer than 1 in 5 say so on each of the other issues, including climate change.” Only 20%, one in five, big whoop. <\/p>\n

They don\u2019t use 20%. Fewer than 20% say the government can protect them against a bunch of things, including climate change. “For many of those questioned in the poll, conducted before doctors in Texas diagnosed a Liberian man with the Ebola virus, the concern starts with the economy. The poll found that 9 in 10 of those most likely to vote in the Nov. 4 election call the economy an extremely or very important issue.” Once again, not 90%, but nine in 10. <\/p>\n

“Those surveyed also pointed to events such as the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, that followed the fatal police shooting an unarmed black 18-year-old and the beheading of a woman in an Oklahoma food processing plant, apparently at the hand of a suspended co-worker.”<\/p>\n

So there isn\u2019t a lot of faith in the government. Now, this is what\u2019s frustrating to me. In the old days — and it\u2019s not too long ago — the political parties were identified as Democrats believe in Big Government, Big Government to defend, protect, take care of. Democrats believe that government has to pave the way for you because you\u2019re too stupid to make the right decisions. Republicans believe in smaller government, limited government, government that gets out of your way. <\/p>\n

You have a poll that shows 90% of the American people think the government can\u2019t keep them safe, in the old days it\u2019d be the end of the Democrat Party because they would have been solely, exclusively identified with this poll, and particularly under these circumstances where the Democrats are running the country. Except the media wants you to think the Republicans in the House are. <\/p>\n

As far as the low-information voter is concerned, the reason Washington doesn\u2019t work is because of the Republicans in the House of Representatives. Not because of Obama. No, the Limbaugh theory explains Obama. In fact, to low-information voters, the Democrats aren\u2019t even political, no, no, no, no, no. The Democrats just have compassion, and Obama, they just care about people. It\u2019s the Republicans who always engage in politics and the Republicans who never cooperate and the Republicans who never try to get along. The Republicans are always trying to stop Obama and so forth. And yet in the midst of all that, 90% think the government\u2019s blowing everything it\u2019s touching. Only 27% of Democrats have no problem whatsoever with the way the government\u2019s operating. <\/p>\n

What worries me about this is polling I\u2019ve seen at other polls of Millennials. They have said things very close to this, but they say they\u2019ve lost faith in the country, and that\u2019s the devastating thing. So if you have 90% of the people think government can\u2019t protect \u2019em, I hope that does not mean 90% have lost faith in the country, rather than have lost faith in Obama or lost faith in this administration. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
