Not So Mr. Popular: Just 21% Favor B-52’s Reappointment
On the eve morning of the most interesting re-confirmation hearings for a Federal Reserve chairman since the Fed's magical creation in 1913, Rasmussen has a new poll demonstrating that all your hard work has paid -- the citizens of Rome have spoken and by an overwhelming majority, you're not feeling Bernanke.
Halle -- freaking -- lujah:
Ben Bernanke begins the formal process tomorrow for confirmation to a second term as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, but 41% of Americans think President Obama should name someone new to the post.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 21% of adults believe the president should reappoint Bernanke to another four-year term. But a sizable 39% aren’t sure what the president should do.
In July, Americans were more closely divided over Bernanke’s reappointment: 26% thought it was a good idea, while 33% felt the president should name someone new. Even then, however, 41% were undecided.
Bernanke’s favorables continue to fall. Only 21% have at least a somewhat favorable view of the Fed chairman now, while 38% regard him unfavorably. His critics feel more strongly since 15% have a very unfavorable opinion of Bernanke, compared to three percent (3%) with a very favorable view. Forty percent (40%) don’t know enough about him to even venture a soft opinion, though.
Bizarrely, Greenspan is more loved than Money-Buckets Benji:
Largely unchanged from the previous survey is the view Americans have of Bernanke in comparison to his predecessor as Fed chairman, Alan Greenspan. Seventeen percent (17%) say Bernanke has done a better job, but 44% think Greenspan was the better chairman. Thirty-nine percent (39%) are not sure.

Sanders is perfectly correct, and the DB's description of his ire is point on.

Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands
And make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Al Gore apparently has canceled a high-priced speaking engagement during the upcoming climate change conference in Copenhagen.
As NewsBusters reported Tuesday, the Nobel Laureate was slated to lecture about his new book "Our Choice" where attendees could pay over $1,200 a ticket for the right to meet the Global Warmingist-in-Chief and have their picture taken with him.
NICE.
