For the first time a plurality of voters oppose the Pelosi-Reid-Obama Debt of 2009 making its way through Congress, according Rasmussen Reports. Just 37% now support the spending bill.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 37% favor the legislation, 43% are opposed, and 20% are not sure.
Two weeks ago, 45% supported the plan. Last week, 42% supported it.
Opposition has grown from 34% two weeks ago to 39% last week and 43% today.
Sixty-four percent (64%) of Democrats still support the plan. That figure is down from 74% a week ago. Just 13% of Republicans and 27% of those not affiliated with either major party agree.
Seventy-two percent (72%) of Republicans oppose the plan along with 50% of unaffiliated voters and 16% of Democrats.
So that “stimulus” bill that enjoys wide support amongst Americans and that every economist agrees needs to be carried out? Yeah, it doesn’t exist. A plurality of Americans oppose the legislation and many-a-reputable economist doesn’t think that this is required. The “everyone supports it” meme is a lie.
