Liberals like to cite CBS News as being "impartial" and offering "real news", despite the fact that studies show it has a very large liberal bias. Given the definite "left-slant" to CBS News, this has to be REALLY bad news for Obama and Democrats! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CBS poll shows 76% of Americans want Obama and Democrats to Compromise CBS NEWS The good news for Republicans? A new CBS News poll shows ObamaCare just as unpopular as it was before the shutdown in a survey taken on the first day of both government rollouts. The bad news? Even those who oppose ObamaCare aren’t happy to have a government shutdown over it. The blame tilts more to Republicans than Barack Obama, but not overwhelmingly so at 44/35, respectively. Sixteen percent still can’t decide who to blame more, and yesterday’s debacle with the WWII memorial and Harry Reid can’t have improved the situation for Democrats. CBS also notes that their poll in the November 1995 shutdown put blame on Republicans by nearly a 2:1 ratio, 51/28, in relation to Bill Clinton. That’s not a good sign for Democrats, either. So what should each side do next? The overwhelming response from all demographics is compromise. Over the whole sample, 76% want Obama and the Democrats to compromise. That suggests that the “clean CR or else” and “I won’t negotiate” messaging from Reid and Obama will eventually backfire, especially as House Republicans send individual appropriations with little disagreement to the Senate only to get them rejected out of hand. That Kabuki theater last night at the White House may end up backfiring after raising expectations that Democrats were preparing to negotiate after all.
