ATS Survey Results: The U.S. Debt Crisis

Here are the highly anticipated results of our latest survey. There are a few surprises.

Wow that is certainly a way to post poll results. Impressive.

Turned out pretty much the way I voted and the way I thought it was going too.

"Of the parties involved in this issue, which do you believe are the most corrupt?"

I think those results pretty much sum up the attitude. We've got some real winners sitting in D.C. right now.

Yup.

Interesting...

Looks like the 'most corrupt' questions might be a bit skewed. Or maybe its the nature of the folks here at ATS... but then again most of the media and government are corrupt.

i agree with all but one of the above.

i don't see how so many people disagreed that the best long term solution for the debt is to both cut spending and raise taxes. unless the goal isn't to get rid of the deficit and our debt, i don't see how that happened.

this is the first poll i participated in because i felt very strongly about it's prevalence.

so we disagree and we're unsatisfied, nice division.

No surprise that a majority of posters on ATS think of the establishment as ALL being corrupt.

Easy to read results. Cool.
They almost match up with my opinions.

what?

of the parties involved in this issue, which do you believe are the most corrupt?

and 60% think they are? even tho they control 1/3 of the government?

wow

and then the teaparty is more corrupt than the democrats?

wow

and the conservative media is the most corrupt?

wow

And I. Proud of the high column mark for "virtuous" Democrats. Notice the other two are scraping bottom as low as they can go. It isn't much, but it's a start and I'll take it.

Democrats are the least corrupt

Must be a good sign for them in 2012.

Im just glad people see that the conservative media is awful.

I am a conservative, and we really dont have a mainstream media outlet. I abhor the neo-con FOX news channel, and dislike the others a bit less

Those are nice graphs.

@neo96.. I couldn't have said it better. Everybody believes all the distortion by "whoever" owns the media and it ain't the Tea Party... sheeple sux

oh wow, virtuous democrats? just. wow. We're screwed blued and tattooed.

Oh, and thanks for the new cussword!

18% say Dems are virtuous?

whaaaaaat?

Both parties are FUBAR

I was surprised and disappointed that most respondents would like everything to crash and burn, fantasy-pronely fantasying that it will rise from the ashes, like a shining strong phoenix though. The banking elites want it to all crash and burn, so that a third world of like three fabulously wealthy families, and the rest, fly covered bloated children, will arise from all that instead.

So, question for the site admins.

How come Mitch McConnell gets to have so many accounts, but i'm stuck with just one?

I wonder if the results from this ATS Survey could be submitted as a reliable source/sample for helping to solve the U.S. Debt crisis. I see the first and last frames appear valid questions while the ones in between are skewed to show divisiveness among "political parties".

well, let's be fair, Lemon.

You guys don't exactly win many hearts and minds among the ATS voters. It's like you're the Jehova's Witnesses going door to door, and the other guys are girl scouts offering sample cookies. Who do you think is gonna win?

Great survey.

Now, please send it on to every Congress member, and Senator.

As well as the White House.

...nicely done, bill... i think we should have more polls... maybe a poll forum that offers one poll a month on whatever topic seems the hottest at the time...

...has ats ever offered that?... if so and it didnt work out - okay, well, nevermind, lol...
