This along with the blurb from Rasmussen today suggests support for the stimulus is growing. Time will tell what the actual Rasmussen number for tomorrow will be.
Stimulus Support Edges Higher, Now 59%
PRINCETON, NJ -- Public support for an $800 billion economic stimulus package has increased to 59% in a USA Today/Gallup poll conducted Tuesday night, up from 52% in Gallup polling a week ago, as well as in late January.

Cable "news" running 24/7 right wing liars smearing Democrats and the stimulus and they didn't move the needle one bit.

Got to love it....Americans may finally be wising up.

It appears from the polling sources that Obama passed around a big jug of Kool Aid the other night and folks started drinking.

This poll doesn't have the right wing bias like the rasmuseen polls.

Overall, 37% of voters favor the stimulus plan (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/business/economic_stimulus_package/support_for_stimulus_package_falls_to_37 - broken link)and 43% are opposed. Most of those who are undecided have a favorable opinion of the new president and are likely to give him the benefit of the doubt (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_approval_index - broken link).

How many other polls put support of the stimulus that low?

Rasmussen has a new poll on the stimulus tomorrow or Thursday I believe. See what that says and then evaluate.
