clo,
re: "You are funny! 16% is UGLY, but much prettier than 9%! haha"
You say I'm funny??? Why?
Perhaps you didn't understand the article.
16% isn't the percent who are satisfied WITH the Democrats (versus 9% for the Republicans.) It is the percent of Democrats, 16% (or Republicans, 9%) who are satisfied with the way things are going. Period.
So, given that this is under Democratic leadership, it isn't at all surprising or particularly funny that only 9 percent of Republicans are content with how things are going. It's hilarious though that after 2.5 years of Obommunism, just 16% percent of DEMOCRATS think things are okay.
Forget the Independents. It looks more and more as if even the Democrats will be voting Republican in 2012.
