The debate over the national debt and the debt ceiling continues in Washington. Over the weekend, almost every polling firm did a poll asking people who was winning the debt debate - President Obama and the Democrats, or Republicans. Nationally, the President & Democrats win by nearly a 2 to 1 margin - or more - in each poll. I'm still wondering why we're debating the debt ceiling at all, since our economy is still in the toilet and unemployment is still high.Larry Jacobs, a professor and Director at the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs (and my local political idol), wrote a great piece for CNN that focused on the political realities presented by the recent polling. It is a great read!
