BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: There's also, ladies and gentlemen, there's another poll. Actually a couple of polls out there. Voter opposition to Obama is at a 16-year high. Voter opposition to Obama is worse than voter opposition ever was to George W. Bush. Now, you wouldn't know this because the Drive-Bys of course are not talking about it. They're not reporting it on a daily basis. They have not been reporting Obama's decline in favorability with the American people and the people who voted for him, like they chronicled it with Bush multiple times a day, much less multiple times a week.
The AP has a funny story. Well, it's funny in the way it's reported. The headline: "Americans Worry -- Can Government Protect Us?" And what's funny about this, this is an AP story reporting an AP poll. And you have to dig hard to find the numbers, because they're so bad. For example, in one result they use the term "nine in 10." Nine out of 10 Americans, blah, blah. Instead of saying 90%. They have really reduced the use of numbers in this piece so that the low-information crowd will not realize the full impact of it.
Here's the thing that worries about it. This is gonna featured with details coming up here. But the thing that worries me about this, we've talked about this in terms of the Millennials before. It used to be, and it wasn't that long ago, if you had a poll that showed something like nine out of 10 Americans worry that government can't protect 'em, that would automatically redound nagatively to Democrats. But it doesn't today, necessarily, as we have found.
The Millennials, for example, are losing faith in America, not the Democrat Party, not Obama. They are responding negatively poll after poll to Obama policy after Obama policy after Democrat Party policy, and it isn't working for 'em, and they're very down and out about their futures. But they think it means the country's best days are behind us. They don't associate it, at least a significant number of them don't, associate that failure of government with failure of the Democrat Party. For some reason -- well, it's not for some reason. We know why. They do not associate the Democrat Party with the party of Big Government.
Now, stop and think. How could the Republicans have possibly lost that? The Republican Party used to be known as the party of limited small government, and by virtue of that the Democrats were known government as the part of Big Government. That's not automatic anymore. That is a huge branding loss. Anyway, details on all of that and more are coming up.
But that nine out of 10 number, by the way, that the AP refuses to call 90%, 90% of those polled say they are likely to vote in the November election and say the economy is an extremely or very important issue, which would not redound well to the party in power, which in this case is the party in the White House. But even the poll question, "Can government protect us?" What does government not have a hand in anymore?



When you get right down to it, what does government not have a hand in? The government's hand is in virtually everything you do, including what you say, including, if Michelle Obama had her druthers, what you eat. The government's determining what kind of car you drive or want to. The government's determining the lightbulb ban. Can government do enough to save us? Can government protect us? And you've got Ebola. The government's got its hands in the name of the Washington Redskins. The government's got its hands in whatever's going on the NFL, be it concussions or domestic abuse.
And then there's a poll at TheHill.com: "Democrats Start to Point Fingers." And this one's kind of surprising because of the source, TheHill.com, talking about trouble in the Democrat Party and Democrat paradise.

Ron Paul

A new poll shows Americans don't think Washington can do much about economic security and personal safety. The question is, should the government be in charge of these things? I believe the purpose of government is to provide liberty for us. It’s not written in the Constitution, or is it a mandate for our president to make us safe and secure.
