Don’t put too much stock on MoveOn.org’s 2014 House election poll

House Defunding Obamacare

By now you have probably heard that MoveOn.org conducted a poll that shows that the Democrats are going to take back the House because of the latest shutdown of the Federal Government.  No need to panic, says Scott Lay, the Publisher of the Nooner, a California political newsletter.

Here is Lay’s breakdown of the MoveOn.org poll:

POLL POSITION: If you were near the Interwebs this weekend, you undoubtedly saw that left-leaning Public Policy Polling firm conducted a survey for MoveOn.org that found 17 vulnerable Republicans–enough for Democrats to take back the House in 2014–and four more that might be vulnerable if the voters were deciding next November on the basis of the shutdown. In each of 24 races (600-700 “voters per district”), the incumbent Republican was tested against a generic ballot Democrat. The poll was telephonic. Continue reading→

New 69th A.D. poll shows Martinez, Daly and Moreno on top

A new poll of voters in the 69th Assembly District might be the reason that Orange County Labor and the OC GOP machine are trying to squeeze Republican candidate Jose Moreno out of the 69th A.D. primary.

According to the survey memo, “Democrats Tom Daly and Michele Martinez and Republican Moreno lead the pack.  Martinez leads all candidates among Latinos and leads Julio Perez, by 16 points. She also leads all candidates in Santa Ana – home to 60% of likely voters. Martinez is also likely to benefit disproportionately from the fact that Democratic women are among the most undecided subgroups in the district initially.  And when voters were read profiles of the three major Democrats and a shorter profile of Republican Moreno, Martinez moved into the lead.” Continue reading→

Out of district white liberals losing it over Daly’s 69th A.D. poll

Ultra-liberal O.J. blogger Greg Diamond has publicly questioned the results of a poll recently conducted by Tom Daly’s campaign for the 69th Assembly District, in an Orange Juice blog post, and in comments he left over at the OC Political blog.  Diamond was irked by the poll as it revealed that Diamond’s pick in that race, union hack Julio Perez, is the least popular of the five candidates who are running.

But now we have gotten a hold of the Daly poll press release.  And guess what?  Daly used a reputable pollster, David Binder Research, who has worked for some of the most liberal Democrats in California and elsewhere, including: Continue reading→

Sixty four percent of California voters oppose Brown’s sales tax increase

Posted on by Posted in 2012 Elections, Ballot Measures, California, Democratic Party, Gambling, Jerry Brown, Sales Tax, Taxes Leave a comment

A statewide survey released this week by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC), found that 64% of the state’s voters oppose raising the state sales tax – a major element of California Jerry Brown’s proposed fix for our state budget deficit. Majorities across parties are against this idea, although Democrats (54%) are less likely to oppose it than independents (71%) or Republicans (74%).  The poll also found that 35% adults, (41% likely voters) prefer closing our budget deficit mainly through spending cuts.

The news wasn’t good for our federal government either –  only 35 percent of those surveyed think President Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress will be able to work together and accomplish a lot in the next year and 62 percent do not.  And just a quarter of Californians (25%) approve of the U.S. Congress, whose job approval rating sank to a record-low 20 percent in December 2011. Likely voters are even less likely (14%) to approve of Congress. Continue reading→

Posted on by Posted in Bloggers, Democratic Party, Jose Solorio, Julio Perez, Labor, Liberals, Todd Spitzer 65 Comments

I have a lot of good friends who are Democrats – but let’s face it, most O.C. Democrats, at least the bloggers and politicians, are ridiculously liberal.  They are wasting their time in Orange County, but that never stops them.

Now you can vote for the most ridiculous O.C. Democrats, in the poll below.  There are a lot of choices, from liberal bloggers to a Long Beach liberal who works at the County of Orange, to limo liberals from Irvine.  Have fun voting and remember that you can vote for up to three choices: Continue reading→
