Shocker - Poll: Republican Party Mostly Wants To Help The Rich

[pampango]

The new poll found that 51 percent of Americans think Republicans are most interested in helping the rich, while 28 percent said they're most interested in helping the middle class. Another 7 percent said the GOP is most interested in helping the poor.

Democrats almost universally dubbed the GOP the party of the rich. A 45 percent plurality of independents also saw Republicans as most interested in helping the wealthy, while only 28 percent said the middle class and 7 percent said the poor.

Indeed, for independents, both parties lean toward the interests of the rich. Thirty-two percent of independents said Democrats are most interested in helping the rich, 20 percent said the poor, and 20 percent said the middle class.

Americans overall were roughly evenly divided on what they think the Democratic Party is up to. Twenty-eight percent said the party works for the rich, 27 percent said the middle class, and 25 percent said the poor.

Of course none of these results are shocking. It is reassuring that few people, other than those who live in the "bubble world" of FOX, Rush and Sean, see the republican party as anything other than what it is.
