Exit Polls and Politics

What I feel exit polls do is they show how the American people felt about the former president and the party that he was affiliated with. It shows a lot of the time also how that president was perceived and what kind of job the American public thought of him. It also shows how the people look at the new president and the party that is exiting the White House along with the new one coming in.
While looking through the exit polls from the New York Times a couple of the questions along with their answers really caught my eye, although I felt as if all of the questions were relevant, and showed accurate thoughts of the American political system. The questions that caught my eye as listed in the link are questions 6, 7, and 8, but question 6 is one that really stood out to me. The people are asked in that question whether or not they think that President Obama is working with republicans well. And the overwhelming majority of the people have stated that they did feel as if the President was working very well with the Republicans in trying to include them in things. We see now that is the furthest from the truth because legislation has been passed with nearly none of the votes coming from the Republican party. I do not know how people can say that President Obama has worked well with Republicans when that is not the case at all. I think a lot of this still also stems from the fact that the Bush Adminstration had left the country in bad shape, and their is still resentment from people, which blinds them from the truth.
In questions 7 and 8 I feel that the party of the Bush Administration that being the Republican party is being looked down upon. The people feel as if the Republicans are doing nothing to work with the Democrats. This again I feel comes from the low approval rating which is still carrying over into todays policy and viewing on politics in American. Because on the other end of that people see the Democrats as working fairly well with the Repulicans. But that as well is not true, I do not understand how shutting out Republicans from a meeting on a billions of dollars stimulus bill is working well with the opposite party.
People need to stop being blinded by the celebrity that is the Democrat party, which is probably celebrity because so many pop-culture stars support it. It is time to see the facts and look pass the star power.
