| 78% Say Politicians Play 'Race Card' Just to Get Reelected |
| 2014-11-04 |
| [RASMUSSENREPORTS] Voters, regardless of race, agree that most politicians play the so-called "race card" just to pick up votes. Still, blacks strongly believe that those who oppose President B.O. are racist. 77% of potential voters think politicians promise pie in the sky. 42% expect to eat it. Just nine percent (9%) of Likely U.S. Voters think most politicians raise racial issues to address real problems, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Seventy-eight percent (78%) say they bring up race just to get elected. Thirteen percent (13%) aren't sure. "Whut?... Couldja repeat the question?... Oh, sure. I think." There is surprising racial agreement. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of blacks agree with 79% of whites and 81% of other minority voters that most politicians raise racial issues just to get reelected. Most pols will let you have sex with their grannies to get elected. These findings are similar to those regarding another common political charge these days, that some candidates are engaging in a "war on women." But 59% of voters say the "war on women" is primarily a slogan used for political purposes. Only 22% believe there really is a political "war on women" going on. You want to see a "war on women", look anywhere from Mosul to Riyadh to Lahore. When it comes to the specifics of the president, however, a racial divide is evident. Eighty-seven percent (87%) of black voters believe those who oppose Obama's policies do so because of racism. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of whites and 56% of other minority voters think instead that opposition is primarily because they believe the president's policies are bad. |
