Public Opinion Strategies

Here’s a link to an important and interesting national survey released today by the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC), conducted by Nicole McCleskey.

Among the key findings:

– President Obama’s approval rating drop now ties Bill Clinton with the steepest decline in presidential approval ratings during the first six months in office.

– Important signs that the Republican Party is regaining some ground, including handling of economic growth and job creation.

– There has been a dramatic shift in the view of the appropriate role of government since Obama assumed office, with voters now assuming a “less is more” posture.

– Voters want the states to take a bigger role in policy-making and setting priorities.

– Nearly half the country thinks the Obama health care plan is a bad idea, and prefer the reform ideas coming out of states.
