Stop the Meme!: 2010 was not a repudiation of Obama or his policies



UPDATE: 
New (Nov 16, 2010) CNN Poll:  Midterm Results NOT a mandate for Republicans

+++++
Let's stop the media-created myth before it gets rolling too far:

The 2010 midterm election was NOT a repudiation of Barack Obama's agenda, as the Republicorp/Mainstream media are trying to insist.

Gallup exit poll shows that the TOP priority of voters is MORE STIMULUS FOR JOB CREATION--that is certainly NOT what the *Republicans* have been selling!!

Way, way, way down on the list is extending the Bush tax cuts.

Let's stop a media myth before it gets out of hand, people!

USA Today/Gallup Poll. Oct. 28-31, 2010. N=1,140 adults nationwide. Margin of error ± 4.







"Looking ahead, which of the following should be the highest priority for Congress after the election: repealing the new healthcare law, passing a new economic stimulus bill designed to create jobs, cutting federal spending, or extending all the federal income tax cuts enacted during the Bush administration?"
