Poll Watch: Voters Trust Republicans More Than Democrats on Economic and National Security Issues

The latest Rasmussen poll drops this bombshell on President Obama and Congressional Democrats.

Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on six out of 10 key issues, including the top issue of the economy.

This is the first time in over two years of polling that the GOP has held the advantage on this issue. The parties were close in May, with the Democrats holding a modest 44% to 43% edge. The latest survey was taken just after General Motors announced it was going into bankruptcy as part of a deal brokered by the Obama administration that gives the government majority ownership of the failing automaker.

Voters not affiliated with either party now trust the GOP more to handle economic issues by a two-to-one margin.

Here are the results:

Now, we know why President Obama is ramping up his economic stimulus tour today.

He can read pollls too or at least Rahm can.
