Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Confusing Polls Addressed

Gallup is reporting a plurality of Americans (49%) disapprove of President Obama's performance, with 44% approving.  Yet the race for President is essentially tied between Mr. Obama and Mitt Romney.  Given the choice at hand it seems Americans are willing to either a) Give Mr. Obama another chance; or b) Vote against Romney;  or c) Possibly give Mr. Romney a chance to lead.  That the sitting President would have minority acceptance of the population for the job he is doing and fare this well in the Presidnetial race speaks, it seems to me, of the weakness of his opponent.
