The new
Democracy Corps poll is out. I've spent considerable time digging into it, and I found something to warm the hearts of all environmentalists. The issue
Create tax incentives for alternative energy/wind/solar/biofuel
polled as
significantly more important than
"Implement the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission / inspecting 100% of containers".
WAKE UP DEM LEADERS: GET AHEAD OF THE ALT ENERGY CURVE BEFORE THE REPUBLICANS STEAL IT FROM US!
Let me repeat: Alternative Energy is more important in voters' minds than port security. Hello? Hello? Are any of you dumbass Dem consultants listening...?
Polling data below.
Q.65 (SPLIT F) Thinking about that list, what TWO stood out as most important to you?
Block any pay raise for Congress until the incomes
of average workers begin to rise...................................44
Create tax incentives for alternative energy/wind, solar, biofuel............................................................30
Create a bi-partisan commission mandated to reduce the
federal budget deficit.............................................28

March 16-20 '06 Democracy Corps poll.
Note also the other takehome here: restricting congressional salaries is extremely popular. Somehow though, I doubt any politician is likely to put that to the fore...
