New Poll: 9% of Southerners Find Bernie Madoff Favorable
The Daily Kos poll statistically proves that Southerners have the worst taste in people.
- Southerners hate Oprah more than your average American. 29%
percent have an unfavorable opinion of her in Dixie, compared to 21% in
all of America. How can anyone disapprove of Oprah?
- Southerners are one of three groups (the others being Republicans and White folk) that find Ted Kennedy more unfavorable than favorable.
- 43% of southerners have a favorable opinion of Rush Limbaugh. 45% like Bill O'Reilly
- Bernie
Madoff, yes, Bernie friggin' Madoff gets his highest favorability
rankings in the South, with 9%. Only 15% find him unfavorable. p.s. 10%
of Republicans, and 10% of white folks find Bernie Madoff favorable!
WHAT?
Now is one of those times where I am glad Miami is not really culturally part of the "South".
On to the CBS New's poll, which is chock full of interesting tidbits:
- Only
18% of Americans support the Government giving money to automakers, yet
44% are "relieved" they did, and 32% thought it was necessary. In
contrast only 37% support giving money to banks, but 71% approve of
bailing out homeowners.
- Most people expect the economic recovery to take at least take two years, and have the patience to wait that long.
- Hillary Clinton has a 58% approval rating compared to Michelle Obama's 53% and Joe Biden's 23%. Though, 38% of American's had no opinion on Michelle, and 61% had no opinion on Biden (told you he was unpowerful).
- Americans
trust Democrats with their problems more than Republicans. Democrats are
even seen as the party best suited to deal with terrorism, polling 2
points better than the Republicans.
