Americans OK with Democrats in charge, poll suggests

By Paul Steinhauser
CNN Deputy Political Director

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. John McCain railed against Democratic control of Washington during his closing argument of his presidential campaign.

And the Republican presidential nominee warned America about the liberal trio of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid and presidential nominee Barack Obama.

"We're getting a glimpse of what one-party rule would look like under Obama, Pelosi and Reid. Apparently, it starts with lowering our defenses and raising our taxes," McCain said repeatedly on the campaign trail in the final weeks leading up to Election Day.

Not only did Obama beat McCain in the presidential election, the Democrats picked up seats in Congress. And a new national poll suggests why a majority of voters didn't seem to buy McCain's argument.

1. Maybe most Americans finally figured out that the only way to fix the problems...

created by a Republican-only government is to put the Democrats in charge.

2. Shocking result! Good think someone took a poll instead of just having people vote.

4. That was my first thought

Gee, we won 56 to 47, and picked up lots of seats in the house and senate. But maybe America doesn't REALLY like us, and this is just their version of a pity fuck?

This is the MSM trying to invalidate the election results and being "surprised" by the outcome

3. But the "Real Americans" of Sarah Palin's Fan Club Don't Think So

And they are flipping out and acting out.

5. What a stupid poll...

,,, we know that from the election results last week.
