47% believe that Republicans are deliberately stalling the economy

It's that number again - this time the proportion of voters who have noticed what's been going on in DC

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/09/18/1132970/-Daily-Kos-SEIU-State-of-the-Nation-poll-Romney-s-problems-in-just-a-few-questions?showAll=yes

Q: Do you think the Republicans are intentionally stalling efforts to jump-start the economy to insure that Barack Obama is not re-elected, or not?

They are: 47
They are not: 41
Not sure: 11

And here is where Republicans are in deep trouble. Democrats and Republicans respond the obvious way—Democrats are convinced Republicans are purposefully sabotaging the economy, while Republicans are shocked(!) anyone would suggest that. But among independents, the yes/no breakdown is 47/43.

They certainly are. Remember, their No. 1 goal was to do everything within their power to make Obama a one-term president. They're doing this at the cost of people's welfare.

Dems have a lot to do to educate the other 53% of what went on for the last four years and why a lot of them are out of work.
The loss of their jobs is Gop path to presidency, I hope they realize they may have subverted the economy and job creation for nothing. Obama may very well win, they should wise up and help Obama win and create those jobs you want, by getting rid of the Gop REPS & SENATORS who fought to keep you unemployed.
