Americans Remain Supportive of Proposed Tax Compromise

Support is high among those paying close attention

by Frank Newport

PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans, and particularly those who are following the tax issue closely, are substantially more likely to believe Congress should pass the new tax agreement reached by President Obama and Republican congressional leaders than to think Congress should not do so. Among all Americans, 49% support passage, while 32% do not, and support rises to 60% among Americans following the news about the agreement very or somewhat closely.



These results are from a Dec. 10-12 USA Today/Gallup poll. The question asked Americans about "the agreement on taxes reached by President Obama and Republican leaders in Congress last Monday," and did not specify or list the details of what is in the agreement.

2. IMHO, we've seen more shilling against it on this board.

Just sayin...

5. Its official. Democrats are now the party of the rich. It was only a formality anyway.

We had to come out of the closet when Citzens United was decided. 2008 was all smoke and mirrors.
I remember the Democratic Party using an event featuring Elizabeth Edwards, who wanted to do "free back porch events accessible to everyone" as a fundraiser for themselves, and barring the very people she asked to speak to, as they couldn't "afford" the entrance fee. And they held it in the most elite restaurant they could find at the moment.And they did it over her protests.That still bothers me.It was always about MONEY.

13. A majority of Americans approving is "shilling?"

Seems the people are the ones who don't count.

3. Why is it such a shock to you that Americans can be had by buying them with tax cuts?

Whether we disagree on this forum or not, I would not call my fellow DU'ers "dumb".

14. Well, if that is what the People want then LET the Rich be the Steerer of Destiny.

Its sad to think that most will accept what the media tell them and not look into the facts and so i am starting to feel that Obama's center-right approach to gvoerning and giving everything to republicans is the way to go.
