60% of Republicans Find Rush Favorable


UPDATE:
Limbaugh talked about this on his radio show ... he mentioned that Obama did not have 60% of Democrats behind him in the Primary this past year ... In fact didn't Hillary win the "popular" vote in the primary ...


This is a few days old but still we found it interesting -

2 Highlights:

Two weeks after Rush Limbaugh repeatedly proclaimed that he wanted President Barack Obama to fail, a poll has revealed that Republicans still support the controversial talk show host. Gallup Thursday reported that 60% of Republicans nationally have a "favorable" opinion of the 58-year old conservative talk radio host who said that unless Obama, in the midst of the recession, maintained Bush's tax cuts and acted more like Ronald Reagan, he hoped that Obama would be unsuccessful...

-and-

But what's more interesting is that in 2003 there was a greater disparity among conservatives who found the veteran talker unfavorable. That year, 29% of Republicans gave him the thumbs-down, whereas today only 23% judged him unfavorably. Who knew rooting against America would find favor in the hearts of
the Right?
Media broadcasts have seized on this and have been spinning this as 23% of Republicans do not agree with Limbaugh ... and they're probably all in Maine right now.

How many other Republicans have that high of an approval rating? Any one of the candidates for RNC chair would have killed for 60% of Republicans to be behind them ...
