Thread: Just 32% View Holder, Napolitano Favorably

Just 32% View Holder, Napolitano Favorably

Sunday, June 27, 2010

Next week is likely to be a big one for Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano if the Obama administration moves ahead with its threatened legal challenge of Arizona’s popular new immigration law.

Right now, Rasmussen Reports national telephone surveying finds that just 32% of U.S. voters have at least somewhat favorable opinions of the two top Cabinet players. In Holder’s case, this includes 12% with a Very Favorable opinion, while 11% have a Very Favorable view of Napolitano.

Forty-two percent (42%) regard the attorney general unfavorably, with 26% who have a Very Unfavorable opinion. One-in-four voters (26%) still don’t know enough about Holder to venture any kind of opinion of him.

This marks a very slight worsening of the numbers for Holder from last August just after his announcement that the Justice Department was investigating how the Bush administration treated imprisoned terrorists. At that time, 35% held a favorable view of him, and 39% did not.

In Napolitano’s case, 47% now view her unfavorably, including 28% Very Unfavorable. Twenty-one percent (21%) have no opinion of the Homeland Security secretary.

Napolitano’s unfavorables have changed little since last spring following her department’s release of a controversial report on right-wing extremist groups. But her favorables are up slightly from January shortly after a failed terrorist bombing attempt on an airliner landing in Detroit.

The survey of 1,000 Likely U.S. Voters was conducted on June 21-22, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Fifty-six percent (56%) of all voters nationwide oppose a Justice Department challenge of the Arizona immigration law. Just 26% think the challenge is a good idea.

Sixty-four percent (64%) believe the federal government by failing to enforce immigration law is more to blame for the current controversy over Arizona’s new statute than state officials are for passing it.

Fifty-eight percent (58%) now favor passage of an immigration law like Arizona’s in their own state.

Ironically, Napolitano was the governor of Arizona at the time President Obama asked her to serve in his Cabinet, and she was replaced by Jan Brewer, then serving as secretary of state. Brewer’s signing and championing of the immigration law has pushed her far ahead in the Arizona's GOP Primary race for governor. Her likely Democratic opponent, state Attorney General Terry Goddard, is an opponent of the law, which sets up the gubernatorial contest as a potential voter referendum on the measure.

Male voters are more strongly critical than women of both Holder and Napolitano.

Fifty percent (50%) of Democrats hold a favorable opinion of Holder. Sixty-six percent (66%) of Republicans and a plurality (44%) of voters not affiliated with either major party do not.

Similarly, 55% of Democrats view Napolitano favorably, while 78% of Republicans and 47% of unaffiliated voters regard her unfavorably.

The Political Class has strongly favorable views of the two Cabinet members, but most Mainstream voters don’t share their enthusiasm.

While a sizable number of voters don’t know much about Holder and Napolitano, they’re still better known than Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services, even though they are key players in two of the federal government’s largest concerns – the Gulf oil leak and the new national health care plan.

Despite White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s reputation for hardball politics, voters have a slightly higher opinion of him these days than they did at the beginning of the year.

Voters now think another Cabinet member, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is more qualified to be in the White House than President Obama.

MERICANS FOR HONEST GOVERNMENT

July4th, 2010

Obama and Janet Napolitano refused to enforce our immigration laws; these two idiots fail to understand what their duty is, their arrogance should not be tolerate by the American people. We the people must demand that these incompetent so call representatives of the people be impeach for treason.
These traitors want to destroy our country, it is our duty as Americans to defend our country from our enemy; we must form a militia and close our border and hold the traitors responsible for any American causality, our lives will be pay by their lives
We the people demand justice, the traitors are responsible to millions of Americans for the lost of their jobs and poverty caused by the invasion of millions of illegal aliens that are taken Americans jobs, they are responsible for the cost to our communities for payment of the education and social service for illegal aliens, they are responsible for the destruction of our communities and our education system. Congress needs to impeach President Barack Obama for betrayal and not doing his job as he has sworn to do, securing our nation’s borders and protecting the American people.
From this day forward we the American people will not ask the traitors to do their job, we will defend our country and what is our. The traitors voided our constitution, our sovereignty and our laws. We do not have a government that will stand for us the American people, we are being betray by the people that we trust and elected to represent us the American people.
Please pass this on and ask the people to stand united to defend our country. Everyone of us count; our enemy is within and we must destroy it before they destroy us.
