NYT: Tuning Out the Democrats (and the Liberals)

«President Obama can't catch a break from the American public on the economy, even though he prevented a depression and saved global capitalism.

During this period of economic crisis and uncertainty, voters are generally turning to conservative and right-wing political parties, most notably in Europe and in Canada.»

«Many voters prefer the policies of Democrats to the policies of Republicans. They just don't trust the Democrats to carry out those promises.»

Sound familiar???

In focus groups, voters show they are fairly cynical about Democratic politicians' stands. They tune out the politicians' fine speeches and plans and express sentiments like these: "It's just words."

Sound familiar??
