Today we have the first national, credible poll that measured how Americans feel about the budget compromise and Obama's handling of the situation. They also included "quantitative data" to measure whether Americans are more supportive of democratic efforts or the republicans approach. The Results show:
Barack Obama and democrats clearly won this debate!!!
When asked whether Americans support the compromise:
"A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday indicates that the budget agreement that prevented a government shutdown is popular, with Americans supporting it by a 58 to 38 percent margin. But there's a partisan divide, with two-thirds of Democrats and a majority of independent voters backing the deal, and Republicans divided."http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/...
Progressives, stop and think about this for a moment. We lost in 2009 and 2010 because we lost independents who believed the lies of Fox news that projected Obama as a commie, socialist, left wing Marxist. This compromise along with Obama's sensible form of governing garnered him a 58% satisfaction with the final outcome-- people.
Furthermore, when asked about which party is most responsible for coming to an agreement, the results found this:
"By a 48 to 35 percent margin, the public thinks Democrats are more responsible than the GOP for the late Friday night agreement, which prevented a shutdown of some government services and offices. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/...
Well, what about Obama's performance on this issue? I totally support and trust that the president is doing the best he can for this country even though many of you don't. Here's his report card on the budget compromise:
"And according to the survey, which was conducted Saturday and Sunday, 54 percent say they approve of how the president handled the budget negotiations, compared to only 44 percent who approve of how the Republican leaders in Congress handled themselves last week." http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/...
As the details of the budget deal continues to come in, it's increasingly obvious that democrats clearly won this fight.
You see, the real battle was over defunding Obamacare, Planned Parenthood and the EPA. Folks, democrats fought to the finish, kept our important programs and successfully painted the GOP as extremists in the process.
The polls clearly show America is "again" with us, let's win this next one too.
[Edit]
One more thing. Check out these other revelations from the poll which is really good news for democrats:
1. 65% of Americans support funding for Planned Parenthood!!!
2. 71% of Americans support funding for the EPA!!!
3. 58% of Americans support the funding for Obamacare!!
4. 54% of Americans support the president's negotiation practices while
only 44% support the GOP tactics.

Obama has once again exposed the tea party as irrational extremist who are bad for America.
