It’s In One of Them Yankee States, Right?
Okay, I know I don’t need to tell you this and Public Policy Polling probably wasted money on a poll we can liken to, “What would you rather do: Have a root canal or spend a day at the beach?”
But, poll they did and discovered —
… the voters who think Benghazi is the biggest political scandal in American history is that 39% of them don’t actually know where it is. 10% think it’s in Egypt, 9% in Iran, 6% in Cuba, 5% in Syria, 4% in Iraq, and 1% each in North Korea and Liberia with 4% not willing to venture a guess.
Personally, I think the 4% not willing to venture a guess are the smartest of the crew.
Much to the chagrin of Republicans, PPP also found some other obvious numbers.
PPP’s newest national poll finds that Republicans aren’t getting much traction with their focus on Benghazi over the last week. Voters trust Hillary Clinton over Congressional Republicans on the issue of Benghazi by a 49/39 margin and Clinton’s +8 net favorability rating at 52/44 is identical to what it was on our last national poll in late March. Meanwhile Congressional Republicans remain very unpopular with a 36/57 favorability rating.
Yeah, she’s smiling.
She is the scandal whisperer.
Thanks to Craig for the heads up.
Yes, if only Hillary Clinton had read the Presidential Daily Briefing on her desk that said, “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” Wait. You mean she had no advance notice about an attack in Bengazi and still didn’t do anything about it? Did she at least try to stop the terrorists by reading My Pet Goat to second graders?
1Hillary could outwit the GOP with half her brain tied behind her back..
2Bob Gates, who served under Bush, and Obama was on the teevee on Sunday, and somebody asked him what he thought about all the dust-up.

I think the word “cartoonish” sort of sums it all up.
3But, but, the emails! The emails! And the disgruntled former employee! Him too! Impeach! Impeach!
4You mean those emails that were presented two months or so earlier…..and BOEHNER DID NOT ATTEND THE BRIEFING???? Those emails?????
5Wait ’til Pickering and Gates show up at Issa’s party. Things may come to a screetching halt.
6Who’s Clinton when you got Ron Paul to stir up the GOP pot? Iowa GOP is in troubled waters… LOL!

Well, heck..coulda told you the public don’t wanna hear that constant screeching! Can’t you see people watching Faux News saying “Lord, what are they on about now?” Its just like when husbands holler and holler..after a while, you just tune ’em out! The Repugs think if they keep hollering, they will win. That didn’t work so well for Romney. Lesson learned? nope
