New Jersey voters get it. For the most part.
By a 13-point margin (52% to 39%), Save Jerseyans, they want U.S. Senator Hudson Bob Menendez to resign according to the results of a new Quinnipiac University poll.
Only 23% believe he’s honest and trustworthy; consequently, those calling for his resignation following a the 68-page, 14 count indictment include 61% of Republicans, 51% of independent voters, and even a plurality of Democrats (46% to 44% in favor).
What I found especially amusing? Only 34% of Democrats think he’s honest and trustworthy, a finding that’s not too much better than among voters generally, but I’d like to meet the Democrats (apparently there were a lot of them) who told Quinnipiac that they think Hudson Bob is not trustworthy but nevertheless do not want him to resign. YOU are “the problem,” morons.
But this is the key finding, Save Jerseyans: like I’ve been saying, N.J. voters seem to get that (1) Bob being guilty, and (2) the indictment being motivated by politics, aren’t mutually exclusive conclusions. 45% percent of voters believe he did something “illegal;” just 8% don’t believe he did anything “seriously wrong,” a tiny percentage that must account for the Senator’s family, friends, staffers, and the state’s mental patient population.
Can’t happen soon enough.
He went against Obama………that’s a “no no” in the kingdom of Obama…….off with his head! Isn’t that how Obama operates, figuratively speaking?????
Where were they on election day? It’s not like everyone didn’t know he was a crook then.
I am concerned about who Gov. Christie will replace him with should he resign.
@Christine As am I.
not likely to happen………..
El payaso del circo
Im not the slightest bit concerned about who christie chooses as a replacement. A chimp could do a better job than bob.
“Should he resign…”
Of course. But I don’t think he’s leaving the US Senate unless he’s dragged out in handcuffs, or carried out.
And by a margin of 64-28 the voters of NJ want the US to re-establish diplomatic ties with Cuba.
Time caught up to him.
Then we jail the little bug
Yes
Yes!
I volunteer to finish out his term!
I want him to fight and in the process drag the administration down with him. He knows exactly what to do and how to do it.
No… I like that hes in obamas head and makes obama nervous…
See what happends when you go against the KING…
It’s about time he does some time
overdue! he’s proof of need for term limits
