Support for the economic recovery plan working its way through Congress has fallen again this week. For the first time, a plurality of voters nationwide oppose the $800-billion-plus plan.
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.
I wonder why? Is it because it is being pushed so hard by President Obama? Is it because Madam Pelosi and/or Mr. Reid (who has been pretty quiet, of late) are proclaiming loud numbers of unemployed Americans? Or is it simply that there is too much damned waste in the bill? I'd suspect all three reasons. Insider Scoop - Support for Stimulus Package Falls to 37% - Texas Insider
Polls show support for stimulus has slipped - CNN.com
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two new national polls suggest that support for an $800 billion stimulus plan to pump up the economy has slipped since mid-January, but may have stabilized in the past week.
"These two polls, taken together, indicate that support for a hypothetical stimulus package dropped once an actual piece of legislation was introduced and debated in the House," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Opinion about the specific bill that is now before the Senate has remained consistent since the details of the House bill were made public. A slight majority favor the current package, with just under four in 10 opposing the bill."

Obama's approval rating is more than twice the 26 percent of those who approve of the way Congress is handling its job, according to the CBS News poll. But when broken down by party, congressional Democrats have an edge over their Republican counterparts. Forty-eight percent of those polled expressed a favorable view of Democrats in Congress, 16 points higher those who had a positive opinion of congressional Republicans.

You know something, Tuby? I really, really don't care if his popularity or approval rating is pie-in-the-sky. I don't care about percentages, I don't care if he is leading to column or bringing up the rear. What do I care about? Simply this: That he does the job he was elected for and inaugurated to.
In an offbeat way, it's kinda like the weather forecasters predicting rain tomorrow in the Southwest deserts as being 90%. Hell's Bells, it will rain, or it won't rain, 50/50 chance, either way. Pfffffffffft!
the american people know the true,
i honestly dont think we got the work ethic to work our way into recovery. if they make the illegals citizens they will have the work ethics but then they will send the money they earn to mexico.
rough stuff. work projects work when you got people that wana work, we got lazy we got mega attitude, what i like is americans are honest enough to know it.
We need to find a way to get these polling organizations in line and with the new program. Any ideas.
