Offshore Drilling

This graph explains the view changes on offshore drilling from April 2009 to Oct 2010.  Those who favored offshore drilling went from 68% in April 2009 to 51% in October of 2010. And those who oppose offshore drilling increased from 27% in April 2009 to 41% in October of 2010. I think a lot of this has to do with the huge oil spill in the gulf. People are started to recognize the risks of offshore drilling. I personally am not i big fan of offshore drilling because the risks outweigh the rewords.

Less Enthusiasm


This first graph shows the level of Enthusiasm about party victories in 1994, 2006 and 2010. In 2006, 60% said they were happy the democrats won, while 24% were unhappy. In 2010, only 48% said they were happy the republicans won, while 34% were unhappy. I think there is less enthusiasm now because the state of our economy and the unemployment rare.

The second graph shows the approval of each party's plans for the future. In 2006, 50% approved and 21% disprove. In 2010, 41% approve while 37% disapprove. This shows that the people are split with there opinions on the republicans plans for our future.

Obama's religion linked to job approval?

This chart shows the perception of Obama's religion and how its linked to job approval. Of the 47% who approve of his job performance, 62% believe he is a christian.  41% disapprove of his job performance and of that 41%, 67% of them believe he is a Muslim. This basically comes down to the the republicans who disapprove of Obama's job performance, are calling Obama a Muslim because they want him out of office.  I think it is sad that our nation doesn't even know what our presidents faith is.
