[release]Hold the celebration. Most voters expected Republicans to win control of the House of Representatives on Election Day, but nearly as many expect to be disappointed with how they perform by the time the 2012 elections roll around.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds, in fact, that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters think it is at least somewhat likely that most voters will be disappointed with Republicans in Congress before the next national elections. That includes 38% who say it is Very Likely.
Thirty-three percent (33%) say it’s unlikely most voters will feel that way about the new majority party in the House, but only five percent (5%) say it’s Not At All Likely. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 1,000 Likely U.S. Voters was conducted on November 1-2, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology. [/release]
Fact: The majority of Americans hate either party and always vote for what they think is the lesser of two evils during the given point in time.
No one is ever fucking right, get over it.
I'm not sure what this implies. Any theories?
How the hell can a majority feel bad about who they put into office 2 days ago? Can't help but feel like they interviewed a left leaning area.

Shouldn't there be more enthusiasm less than a week later?

How does a random telephone (I assume) poll "interview a left-leaning area"? It has a 3% margin of error so it's fine.
I don't think voters expecting to be disappointed by a party; even the one they voted in is really all that crazy.
No.

No, just sounds like your stereotypical american public, decide on how good something is before you experience it.

But they did. Insurance companies can't deny based on pre-existing conditions anymore, that's just a hop a skip and a jump away from gulags
oh man i hate gulags

God daaaamn... I hate it when Republican supporters just tear us apart with their logic, it's so unfair :(
I really dislike polls
Who did they ask?

Canadians.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;25858302]Says the guy that thinks democrats ruined america...[/QUOTE]
They did, and so have Republicans. So what's your point?
Of course they will fucking disappoint they are the Republican party.
Their existence is a disappointment.

Or you just plain don't understand polling science.

Isn't it hypocritical to be on one side then?
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;25858617]Or you just plain don't understand polling science.[/QUOTE]
Haha oh wow.
Elections are rarely decisions between two people who could potentially help the country. It's normally between whoever the people think will do the least amount of damage.
It's sort of sad, really.

random americans
[QUOTE=Strider*;25858808]Haha oh wow.[/QUOTE]
A well done poll doesn't ask one area, and it accounts for area bias, and for numbers. So by saying "Where did they ask" you're kind of showing you don't understand it. But go ahead and dumb me.

I know man, I saw a gulag being built yesterday.
It said "Daycare" but that's just a socialist ploy.

I saw a hospital being built, clearly for death panels for old people because obamacare kills.

Polling is a legit science, as has been said it doesn't just ask one area, it asks randomly and takes into account the bias of the areas, etc etc

I dislike economics. I think we could do without it.

I don't get why so many people here don't get this.
Don't we explain how polling works every time the issue comes up?

Scorpio
He'll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth
Beware of Scorpio
We literally do have to explain polling each and every time anything poll related comes up. it's always impossible for facepunch to get it.

They understand how many torches you need to stop creepers from spawning in Minecraft but they don't get basic polling techniques

Well Minecraft is fun, but well...let's face it, polling science ain't so much
