Polling: The TARP Vote

Back in October, just before Congress voted on the bailout plan, 45% of voters opposed it, while 30% were in favor. Another 25% were undecided at that point. At the same time, the plurality of voters (47%) said they were more worried the government would do too much to fix the economic crisis, while only 36% were more worried it would not do enough.

Now, 54% of voters believe a major government economic recovery plan is necessary to the restore the U.S. economy, while just a third (33%) think the economy can recover on its own. But 55% also say the plan must include tax cuts, which Obama has promised but Democratic congressional leaders are trying to downsize.    Rasmussen Reports

  Obama's stimulus plan is supported by 44% of the country, while 28% oppose it and

27% aren't sure. Also, many Americans ( 37% ) believe that our Congress-Critters have no idea about what they are doing when it comes to trying to fix the American economic troubles.
