Breaking: Incredibly poor polling numbers for Obama's climate swindle

Only 19% believe the House cap and trade bill will help the economy

Rasmussen reports that only 19% believe the Waxman-Markey cap and trade tax climate change legislation the House passed last week will help the economy, but 42% say it will hurt the U.S. economy.

A majority of both Republicans (56%) and Independents (52%) think the bill will hurt the economy.

Among Democrats, 30% say it will help the economy.

Just like polling on bailouts, tea parties, and immigration, Rasmussen found a telling divide between divide between Mainstream America and the Political Class on cap and trade:

Fifty percent (50%) of Mainstream Americans say the climate control measure will hurt the economy, but two-thirds of the Political Class (67%) say it will help.

How can our leaders be that out of touch with their constituents?
