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.

Voters overwhelmingly believe workers should not be required to join a union to work in a unionized workplace. Even half of Democratic voters agree with that sentiment.
Relative to the debate over government employee compensation playing out in many states, voters tend to side strongly with those advocating the need to get public pay and benefits under control, and see those benefits as overly generous and threatening to the future of the country.
Independent voters, who drove the Republican wave in the 2010 election, continue to prefer conservative over liberal policies on fiscal issues, energy, education, and health care. As was the case throughout the fall campaign, Independents look a lot more like Republicans than Democrats in their policy choices, even when considering the broader sample of registered voters.
