1) 69% Say It’s Likely Scientists Have Falsified Global Warming Research
2) Throw the bums out: "62% Would Vote to Replace Entire Congress"
I guess that I don't find this poll particularly new or surprising. In the past, there were a lot of polls showing that people wanted to get rid of other people's congressmen but keep their own. This might be a little broader.
While a majority of Americans nationwide continue to acknowledge significant disagreement about global warming in the scientific community, most go even further to say some scientists falsify data to support their own beliefs.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of American Adults shows that 69% say it’s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data in order to support their own theories and beliefs, including 40% who say this is Very Likely. Twenty-two percent (22%) don’t think it’s likely some scientists have falsified global warming data, including just six percent (6%) say it’s Not At All Likely. Another 10% are undecided. . . .
Fifty-seven percent (57%) believe there is significant disagreement within the scientific community on global warming, up five points from late 2009. One in four (25%) believes scientists agree on global warming. Another 18% aren’t sure. . . .
2) Throw the bums out: "62% Would Vote to Replace Entire Congress"
I guess that I don't find this poll particularly new or surprising. In the past, there were a lot of polls showing that people wanted to get rid of other people's congressmen but keep their own. This might be a little broader.
No matter how bad things are, 63% of Likely Voters believe Congress can always find a way to make them worse. Only 20% disagree with this pessimistic assessment.
If they could vote to keep or replace the entire Congress, a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 62% would vote to dump all the current legislators and start over again. Just 15% would keep the existing Congress, while 23% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here .)
It’s not just Congress in general that make voters skeptical. Just 32% of voters are even somewhat confident that their own representative in Congress is actually representing their best interests. Sixty-five percent (65%) don’t share that confidence. . . .
Two interesting polls
