From Rasmussen poll results released today:
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of likely voters finds that 61 percent say the job offers are at least somewhat important to how they will vote this November. However, only 32 percent say the issue is very important.
That falls far below the importance attached to all 10 issues tracked regularly by Rasmussen Reports. Eighty-five percent consider the economy to be a very important issue. Number 10 on the list, abortion, is considered very important by 42 percent.
A plurality of voters (40 percent) believe that the job offers currently in the news involve both Republican and Democratic candidates. Only one-third of voters (34 percent) are aware that the job offers involve Democratic candidates, while 7 percent say Republican candidates are involved. Nineteen percent aren’t sure.
But 44 percent of voters also say the job offers made to keep candidates out of closely contested state primaries are fairly typical of what politicians normally do. Just 19 percent say that’s not true, while 37 percent more are not sure.
