CNN poll: 56% oppose stimulus program
Another day, another bad poll for Obama. Even the liberal biased CNN poll is now showing that 56% of Americans are opposed to the stimulus program that was supposed to be keep the unemployment rate at 8% or lower. Too account for the poll’s usual oversampling of Democrats, 42% actually support the stimulus.
Fifty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Sunday say they oppose the stimulus package, with 42 percent supporting it.
Last March, just weeks after the stimulus bill was signed into law by President Barack Obama, a CNN poll indicated that 54 percent of the public supported the program, with 44 percent opposed.
The program, formally known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, attempts to stimulate the country’s economy by increasing federal government spending and cutting taxes at a total cost to the government of $787 billion. No Republicans in the House and only three in the Senate voted in favor of the bill.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted January 8-10, with 1,021 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey’s sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
