Resurgent Republic promotes conservative, free-market principles such as lower taxes and economic growth and opposes policies that stifle job creation.
Between August 28-31, 2011, Resurgent Republic conducted its latest survey of 1000 American voters. The survey finds President Obama's standing among voters in real jeopardy. President Obama's joint session address on the economy will be received by an electorate that questions his leadership and believes his policies have made things worse. By almost every measure, President Obama's prospects for reelection are bad, and barring a dramatic turnaround in the economy, Obama is very vulnerable to defeat next year.
Resurgent Republic sponsored a series of focus groups in June in four battleground states: Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, and Colorado. We measured voter sentiments on the current state of the economy, increasing the debt ceiling, and the debate over Medicare. We also probed voter opinion regarding President Obama’s handling of the economy and whether voters believe President Obama has put forward the right policies to spur job growth.

This week the House of Representatives will consider President Obama’s request to raise the federal debt limit without any preconditions related to limiting spending. This policy, the so-called “clean” debt ceiling hike, is opposed by 9 in 10 voters, according to a Resurgent Republic survey conducted jointly with the American Action Forum.
As pessimism over the economy and job creation rises, voters clearly see too many federal government regulations as more of an economic threat than too few. Voters believe burdensome government regulations stand in the way of lasting job growth, and this concern is likely to increase following actions taken by the National Labor Relations Board to prevent Boeing from expanding production in a right-to-work state.
In our April national survey, conducted jointly with the American Action Forum, we asked voters the following question:
Which possibility concerns you more: the federal government has too few regulations to hold private businesses accountable, or that the federal government has too many regulations that hurt the economy?
President Obama’s policy of raising the federal debt limit without any preconditions relating to limiting spending, i.e. a "clean debt limit," is supported by only one-out-of-ten voters, the least popular option of three presented in a Resurgent Republic survey conducted jointly with the American Action Forum.
Resurgent Republic helps policy makers, think tanks, interest groups and others advocate for policies that are consistent with conservative principles, and to oppose policies that stifle job creation, weaken national security and undermine values that have made America a great country.
