Polls show support for stimulus has slipped

Thirty-nine percent opposed the plan, up 15 points from the previous poll, taken before President Barack Obama was inaugurated and before the House of Representatives passed an $819 billion stimulus package, with no Republican support, on January 28.

in a CBS News poll released Thursday evening approved of the stimulus package. That's down 12 points from a poll taken January 11-15, the last time CBS asked the question.

A new USA Today/Gallup poll, also released on Thursday, shows virtually identical numbers to the CBS News poll -- 52 percent favoring an economic stimulus plan and 38 percent in opposition. Fifty-two percent also favored an economic stimulus plan in a Gallup poll conducted on January 27, a week after the inauguration and the day before the House passed the bill that the Senate is currently considering.

lets see 51 + 12 = 63% on January 15? not even the 67% OT bragged about...

The public often changes its mind about proposals made by a president or by Congress once the details are known, Holland added. "It's easy to express support for a bill when the goal is clearly stated but the details are not well known.

so as the facts come to light less people are willing to support the bill,.. all the more reason to have a transparent government and a delay on the pork~laden stimulus bill..

Most people want and would support a stimulus bill. However, with the scrutiny that time affords, they're seeing that this is not a stimulus bill so much as it is a massive spending bill. Obama is employing classic bait and switch. He's trying to take advantage of a bad situation to get the Democrat's Christmas list filled. I don't consider that very coming for a leader. It's dishonest.

Can we get rid of him yet?

He vowed there would be transparancy in Government and now
he wants the cencus results to go to the White House instead of
to the Dept. of Commerce.

Now why do you suppose that is? :mad: :twisted: :mad: :mad:
