According to a recent poll conducted by market research firm Synovate, more than one-third of those polled that the Bush tax cuts which are set to expire should be extended. Obama most likely will allow these cuts to expire based on his campaign and recent speech before Congress.
I am unfamiliar with Synovate, but the question posed seems strange. The question posed was: Pollsters say the President Obama is on the verge of losing control of his presidency. What should he do to get it back on track? The four possible responses were all over the place.
35% said he should continue the expiring Bush tax cuts.
33% said whatever it takes to pass healthcare reform.
17% said propose another major stimulus spending package.
15% said immediately withdraw all troops from Iraq.
I find it interesting that one-third think he should do whatever it takes to pass healthcare reform since this proposal is so widely unpopular and may be viewed as what is putting Obama on the verge of losing control of his presidency. The most recent Rasmussen polls indicate that 40 percent of Americans strongly oppose Obama's healthcare reform plan while only 30 percent strongly favor the proposal.
Maybe if Obama wants to get his presidency on track he should stop trying to be the world's most powerful insurance salesman.
