James Carville’s New Poll is so Bad For Democrats He Doesn’t Want You to Know it Exists Democracy Corps is James Carville and Stan Greenberg’s pet polling organization that always, without fail, issues polling picked up by the media highlighting how Republicans are screwed and Democrats are ever victorious.
Brian Faughnan notes a series of typical headlines from Democracy Corps announcing their polls:
Don’t Believe the Hype: Support for Health Care Reform is Still Fundamentally Strong New Survey Shows Cheney, Sotomayor Debates Threaten to Further Isolate GOP Obama Closes the Democrats’ Historical National Security Gap Americans See a Lot to Appreciate in Obama’s First 100 Days As Specter Leaves the GOP, New Surveys Show Republicans in Disarray Democracy Corps has a new poll out this week. There is some curiosity to the polling. Unlike their other polls that they usher out with great fanfare, this poll was released with no announcement, no fanfare, and no media roll out.
Why?
Because the polling shows the Democrats are in a world of self-inflicted hurt.
Unlike most polling these day, Democracy Corps does try to maintain a semblance of credibility and looks at likely voters instead of all registered voters. And among their pool of likely voters, 53% of those likely to vote in 2010 think Obama is too liberal. The same number think he’s going to raise taxes. 55% think he doesn’t deliver on his promises.
