With the fiscal cliff in our backyard, do the voters want to cut spending, entitlments or both?

How do the voters feel about the ethics of your governor, Congressman or U.S. Senator?

According to recent poll results provided by Ron Faucheux of Clarus Inc., it appears that President Barack Obama and Democrats are in a good position with the American voters as the country faces major issues such as the fiscal cliff, social security, taxes and maintaining tax deductions.

New summary of poll numbers are out and from the information provided by Ron Faucheux of Clarus.

With the Middle East on high-alert as Israel and the Hamas exchange rockets, who is the Americans supporting--the Jewish state or the Palestinians?  Also, how does the nation feel about the relationship between climate change and storms such as Sandy which has damaged major parts of the NorthEast Coast of the United States?

How popular is President Barack Obama, especially compared to his immediate predecessors?  How divided are the American voters?  Will the U.S. jump over the fiscal cliff?

For the answers, here is the latest from Ron Faucheux of Clarus:

In 2008, Barack Obama was the first Democrat in 16 years to win both sexes, carrying women by 13 points and men by one point, for a 12-point gap. In 2012, Obama won re-election with an 11-point margin among women and losing men by 7 points, for an 18-point gap.

Before the election, if I had told you that 77 percent of voters had a negative attitude on the economy and that Mitt Romney would beat Barack Obama by 22 points among those voters, you'd think Romney would easily win the election.

It has always been said that in polite company one should never talk about politics or religion. Today, let's do both.
