Rasmussen: Voters now trust the GOP more on all 10 key issues being polled

Rasmussen:

Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on all 10 of the important issues regularly tracked by Rasmussen Reports [education, health care, Iraq, the economy, social security, government ethics, national security, Afghanistan, taxes and immigration].

The GOP has consistently been trusted on most issues for months now, but in July they held the lead on only nine of the key issues.

Republicans lead Democrats 47% to 39% on the economy, which remains the most important issue to voters. Those numbers are nearly identical to those found in June. Republicans have held the advantage on the economy since May of last year.
