These polls are always lopsided and wrong. It's hard to take them seriously. It's the people who run these magazines best interest to try to persuade public opinion by using fake polls.
Yeah, I'm a little confused - how can 160 million Americans be 3 months from running out of money...if only 20 million are unemployed?
More: 26% would save it - and 33% would donate some of it to charity!
Most disturbing: A whopping 44% agree that people should get MORE on Unemployment than their regular pay.
I'm not sure which Americans are the idiots - anyone who believes this survey, or the 350 people they asked. That's right. 350 people = "84% of Americans..."
If it were truly representative - then only 70 of them would have been unemployed, no?
I don't trust the poll, in that sense - but just look at the raw data. Unless they're flat-out manufacturing the info (maybe that's what you meant) - there is indeed a segment of folks who feel that way. Weird.
Some things are just not up for popular vote.
