Fairly Conservative

Some recent polling by Rasmussen suggests Republicans may already be seeing a little recovery. A survey shows that voters trust the GOP more on 8 of 10 key issues.

Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight out of 10 key electoral issues, including, for the second straight month, the top issue of the economy. They’ve also narrowed the gap on the remaining two issues, the traditionally Democratic strong suits of health care and education.

First, the economy.

(My favorite response is for government ethics and corruption. Rather evenly divided, don’t you think?)
