Where the hell do you get that from? McCain rushed back to Washington, even suspending his campaign to help push through bailout bills (you know the one created by Bush that was also liberal), McCain Feingold Bill, the Fossile Creek act, the National Scenic Trails act, ever hear of these for example? I dont think there is ONE conservative bill EVER sponsored by McCain, can you list ONE.. Just ONE

Shhhh!

Don't tell anyone but these wingers think their poll numbers are low because they are not being "conservative" enough.

They think they need to move to the right....lol

How do we stay right of where Obama will be very soon without moving that direction? He has to come to the center and less left or he could become more unpopular with people other than the far left.

Obama and the liberals seem to be self destructing very well. largest drop in recent history.

I'm not sure why you would assume the neilsen ratings for FOX News should or would have something to do with a CNN poll about the congress.

In addition, if any one takes the time to actually download the .pdf file that's suppose to show the full results of the CNN poll (and then READ it!), they'd realize the conclusions drawn from the results of the poll are completely whacked.

A little over a thousand people were interviewed by phone.....it doesn't say how they were chosen or what these people consider their party affiliation to be or anything at all about them so, right off the bat that's unreliable....you don't know if it was all democrats or all republicans or a percentage of each (and how even that percentage is).

Secondly, the people being polled were not asked how favorably the viewed each party....they were actually asked for their opinion of some people in the news and how favorably or unfavorably their view was of them. There's no list of names given for who they were asked about so, you don't even know if they were all congressman/women, that they were asked about. Apparently these names were divided up by party affiliation and then the results for each name were totaled up and summarized as either the republican or democratic party. What kind of crap is that? It's a ridiculous poll.....they could have asked a bunch of democrats what they thought about Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck....who knows what names were that were read off to them and how many there were from each party as well....or how moderate or extreme they were.

To twist it into a poll showing the favorability of each party from the questions they actually asked, should be illegal or something....lol.

Polls are B.S. unless all the data for them and how it was taken, are completely disclosed in detail.

Seriously, download the .pdf file and see for your self, what a bunch of baloney.
