Holy targeting and cherrypicking Batman.
Looking at the links in that "article", the fine print was interesting.
"In a poll conducted for MoveOn.org"...or " for The Center of American Progress"...or "a poll conducted by Hart Research Associates"...or "the American Sustainable Business Council".
Far left-wing mouth breathers polling far left-wing knuckle draggers.
I would love to see the internals and demographic breakdown of these...ahem..."polls", but of course, that information isn't available. Shocking...
Another klamfail.

Like I said there were a few biased ones but also some legit, and if you clicked on a couple of the links, the poll breakdowns ARE available.

Regardless, do you think a majority of Americans:
Are opposed to raising taxes on Wall Street and the wealthy?
Believe we should maintain or increase our military spending and engagement?
Cut SS and Medicare?
Support for-profit health insurance?
Support the War on Drugs?
Are opposed to gay marriage?
Are opposed to campaign finance reform?
Are opposed to some form of government provided higher education?
Believe we need less regulation of healthcare, food safety, finance?
I can add to the list if you'd like, but face it...Americans are far more progressive than you think or how they even vote.
Me and Uncle Houndy...TOTALLY representing the middle!

From Treasury Department records it appears that the first suggestion that God be recognized on U.S. coinage can be traced to a letter addressed to the Secretary of Treasury from a minister in 1861. An Act of Congress, approved on April 11, 1864, authorized the coinage of two-cent coins upon which the motto first appeared.
The motto was omitted from the new gold coins issued in 1907, causing a storm of public criticism. As a result, legislation passed in May 1908 made "In God We Trust" mandatory on all coins on which it had previously appeared.

Just to add a little common sense perspective to some of your loaded questions...
Most Americans are opposed to raising taxes, period.
Most Americans want Medicare and SSI reformed.
Most Americans don't want government run healthcare. Single payer or not.
Most Americans are against free college for all.
Most Americans want less regulation, period.
Face it. When you ask loaded questions to a slanted demographic, you're going to get results that will make the low information people think normal Americans are as bat shit crazy as they are.
