Poll: Americans Trust Republicans Over Dems on Budget by 12 Points…

Along with the economy, immigration, jobs and Afghanistan.

(CNBC) — The poll’s findings underscore the challenge facing Obama as he seeks public support for his proposals for tackling a growing U.S. budget deficit — an issue that could play a key role in the president’s efforts to win re-election in 2012.

The USA Today/Gallup survey of 1,013 U.S. adults looked at whether Americans expressed more confidence in the ability of Republicans or Democrats in Congress to deal with six major issues facing the country.

The federal budget was the only issue in which respondents clearly preferred one party over the other, with 48 percent favoring Republicans and 36 percent Democrats.

The poll found that Americans favored Republicans by smaller margins on four other issues: Afghanistan, the U.S. economy, immigration and jobs. Democrats held a small advantage on handling healthcare, the poll found.

    I don’t trust Republicans as far as I can throw them. The old guard is in the tank with the demoncraps. And they are enticing the newbies over to the dark side. And it is working.

    We are so screwed.

    “If given the chance DarkVader and Harry ” this war is lost ” Reid will suck our country bone dry .”

    Boner and McConnell are already sucking on that straw with dingy harry.

    I hope Ohio primaries boner and tosses his ass out.
