Moms:
Country on Wrong Track
New
Poll Finds Majority of Moms Believe Country
is on the Wrong Track
Verona,
PA - As Democrats gather this week in
Charlotte just as Republicans did in Tampa to discuss which is the
better party
for women, Patriot Voices is releasing results of a new poll that
discusses
which issues moms care most about and who stands on the right side of
these
issues.
The
poll, conducted by the Tarrance Group,
interviewed 2,500 moms online who have at least one child under 18 at
home. The
survey incorporated 15 open-ended questions, producing thousands of
individual
responses. Of the
mothers interviewed,
729 were self-identified Independents, 911 were Democrats and 860 were
Republicans. All
were registered to
vote.
The
survey found that while mothers' top tier
of concerns are pocketbook issues like jobs and gas prices, there is a
notable
level of concern among them about national security issues. They have mixed to
negative views about
President Obama and his impact on the country and are remarkably
negative about
the President's ability to keep their families safe from foreign
threats.
"Instead
of telling women what to believe,
Patriot Voices has actually listened to mothers through an online
survey of
mothers in five battleground states: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin,
Florida,
and Virginia," said Karen Santorum. "The results of this poll were
remarkable and showed us that moms indeed know best. Moms across this
country
want our president to protect our families by supporting policies that
give
families an edge when it comes to economic challenges but also to keep
us safe
from the unpredictable and grave national security challenges we face.
Women
are not single issue voters, and we care about a broad spectrum of
issues
particularly when it has to do with the safety of our families."
Among
the key findings in this survey:
73%
of mothers are concerned about the type of
nuclear strategy that President Obama might pursue.
62%
of mothers are concerned by President
Obama's conciliatory remarks to Russian President Medvedev.
53%
of moms thought it was inappropriate for
President Obama to tell Israel that it should alter its borders.
78%
of moms think the United States should
increase off-shore drilling.
79%
of moms think government regulations need
to be trimmed to incentivize people to start small businesses or expand
existing ones.
When
informed that Obamacare cuts Medicare
funding, only 12% of moms thought this was fair.
"This
survey reaffirms that women are not
single issue voters, and we want the leadership of this country to keep
our
families safe and support policies that encourage economic growth while
also
having a consistent and strong foreign policy," Karen Santorum
concluded.

Friday,
a second memo will be released detailing national security findings of
the
poll, and on Saturday a third memo will be issued detailing the poll's
finding
on energy.
