Poll: Bad News For Obama On IRS Scandal

Gallup is out with a new poll which suggests U.S. President Barack Obama is suffering some backlash thanks to the illegal targeting of limited government advocates by his Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

“Nearly six in 10 Americans believe that high-ranking IRS officials in Washington were aware the IRS had a practice of targeting conservative political groups for greater scrutiny in recent years,” Gallup’s pollsters note. “One-quarter think knowledge of this was mainly limited to the agency’s office in Cincinnati where the mishandled applications for tax-exempt status were processed.”

Obviously the involvement of higher-ups in Washington, D.C. is a fact, not a matter for conjecture. Same with the Obama administration’s awareness of these discriminatory tactics. But the fact that a majority of intellectually incurious, perpetually distracted Americans are actually aware of these realities is surprising …

The poll found that only 32 percent of Americans (including just 26 percent of independents) approve of Obama’s handling of the IRS scandal, compared to 58 percent (and 62 percent of independents) who disapprove.

Those are terrible numbers, people.

Yet while the IRS scandal is a big deal, only 49 percent of Americans in the Gallup survey viewed it as a “very serious” issue.  Meanwhile 28 percent said it was “somewhat serious.”

Really? Really?

We view it as deathly serious, people … and so should you. Same with the massive domestic spying initiative unearthed last week.

Unfortunately, the Gallup poll found that 24 percent of Americans are only “somewhat following” this story while 21 percent are not following it all.

Voting for a communist and enjoying it are two different things.

I’m done voting for the lesser of two evils. From now on I will vote for the greater evil (unless a prudent choice exists) in an effort to allow the Demlicans and the Repuklicrats to finish running this country into the ground. Only then can we start picking up the pieces.

Have a Great Day, Sarah!! :) I don’t believe there are two many left for the country as it exists today. :)

Glad to see you back with the “Republikrats”line Pytel.Still,its a little unusual that you only seem to be able to find things to criticize about Democrtas.Somehow,except for the snarky reference,Republicans seem to escape your wrath.

Frank Pytel June 9, 2013 at 11:37 am

Absolutely not. If you’re going to criticize, at least do the research, not a skim (which I am also guilty of). Many many times I’ve ragged on Bushy and Senator Bonhead from OH. A libtard is a commie is a Repuklicrat is a Demlican. 4 sides of the same coin.

For that matter you can check my comment on McPain and Grahmnesty as well. Of course these two are the not really Republicrats, just closet Demlicans and Feminazis. I wonder what kind of bra Ms. Lindsey wears :-k Hmmmm??

Of course they knew, as in they planned the whole thing. Nothing new about this, administrations have been doing this shit with the IRS forever. It’s just the scale of it this time that makes people’s jaws drop. NONE of this has to do with Obama being black, of course, and being black is NOT the main objection most of his critics have to his performance as POTS. That’s been the bullshit propaganda line pushed since they tried to hang the racist label on everyone who supported Hillary over Barack.

Obama’s IRS used the IRS to TARGET TEA PARTY groups, and other Conservatives. Do you have an EQUAL charge by BUSH????…because you and that F**ki*’ idiot Boz, and Smirks claim everybody does it.

A reference to a 1991 book, DOES NOT QUALIFY….

Get off your Stupid, Lazy Liberal @$$ and GIVE me an equal charge toward Bush to what Obama has been CAUGHT doing or STFU…you, corrupt ignorant piece of $#!*…

You might need a reality check. From the shit you post, you’re making a great, big leap of faith if you think the GOP are going to take over the country. But, you’re never been wrong…

GrandTango June 11, 2013 at 11:45 am

I’m saying the GOP is a majority in Congress, and have kicked Obama’s @$$ on Sequester and gun control..and is backing him down on immigration…
Not to mention: Trey Gowdy and Co. are Slapping the living $#!* out of the Corrupt Obama lackeys who have been caught targeting political enemies…
Obama’s numbers are dropping…and hopefully that means we can get more Republicans in against Obama in 2014. It’s trending that way, but Obama and the media cheated his @$$ in in 2012…so I put nothing past them. But right now it looks good for the country moving against Obama…

Beatle Juice June 11, 2013 at 12:32 pm

Sounds as if you’re equating Prez Obama’s position as a Dem position. Its hurt all politicians and government employees. The GOP is having an idenity crisis last I looked. Ahh, The Patriot Act…Enjoy your blissful day in South Carolina.

Many leaks, evil machinations have been revealed since the Benghazi hearings started to find answers. Coincidence? What was Obama doing the night Ambassador Stevens was raped and murdered? Why was he ordered into Benghazi precisely at that moment by Sec State Clinton? Benghazi is the reason for the other scandals. American citizens can elect a Congress in 2014 to impeach and indict.

You 2 are missing the point. They should both be tried, impeached and hung from the nearest yardarm. Their terms in office (along with a few others) should be nullified and will be viewed by history as the Dark Days in US history. A time when the elite and the lazy were exalted above all other citizens. A time in our history when Socialism almost won the day.
