PPP Poll: Voters Approve of God
Actual poll results: "Though not the most popular figure PPP has polled, if God exists, voters are prepared to give it good marks. Voters approve of God’s performance by 52-9 margin, making God about as popular as [Rupert] Murdoch is unpopular. When asked to evaluate God on some of the issues it is responsible for, voters give God its best rating on creating the universe, 71-5. They also approve of its handling of the animal kingdom 56-11, and even its handling of natural disasters 50-13. Young voters are prepared to be more critical of God on natural disasters with those 18-29 rating it 59-26 compared to 47-12 among those over 65."

TFD Opinions: Republican Presidential Nomination Odds July 20
Change from last week in parentheses:
9. Newt Gingrich 2% (-1)- Newt's campaign has been just so bad that it's hard to imagine him even getting to Iowa let alone winning anything. He'll have to go back to scamming gullible people out of their money.
8. Rick Santorum 2% (-1)- Hasn't done anything to raise his profile and while he checks all the boxes for the right wing, it seems like Michele Bachmann has taken any chance he had to gain support.
