• Total Republicans contacted: 272 unweighted and 289 weighted.
• Total Democrats contacted: 409 unweighted and 381 weighted.
• Total Independents contacted: 337 unweighted and 348 weighted.

A large majority of Republicans still approves of the President’s handling of terrorism, although their approval, like that of all adults, has dropped nine points in the last month, to 78% now. Most Democrats and Independents disapprove.

Well you don’t say? Let’s do our own analysis.

• 2,036 individuals were polled
• 38.8 % were Democrats
• 33.6% were Independents
• 27.6% were Republicans

Depending on how the questions were asked it seems the CBS “weighted” this poll to satisfy Bob Schiefer and his cohorts who wish to report bias news by “fixing” the numbers and placing their own spin on the results.

• The 1991 California personal income tax rate increase was projected to produce more than $2 billion in additional revenue from this source. The revenue did not materialize. Revenue from the personal income tax was virtually flat until the temporary tax increase expired. Then revenue from the personal income tax grew 80% in six years.
• A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, analyzing 1993 federal tax increases on upper-income taxpayers, found a similar result. Two new brackets for those with incomes over $140,000 produced less than half the revenue anticipated in the static analysis.
• The Reiner Initiative, like Proposition 63 of 2004 (the tax on millionaires to fund mental health) is an unfriendly gesture to high-income Californians. Voters are being asked to target someone else to pay for social programs.
• Small businesses are the backbone of the California economy. Yet increasing top income tax rates would raise income tax liabilities for some small, profitable unincorporated businesses paying personal income taxes.

California continues to account for about one-sixth of the overall U.S. economy, and its competitive decline will inevitably hurt everyone. Hollywood’s liberals will discover again that a state with fewer businesses creates fewer jobs and collects fewer taxes.

Also keep in mind, the Hollywood Left unequivocally supports Hillary Clinton. Combine the two and we have an epic economic disaster in the making.
