By over a 2 to 1 margin, Americans oppose raising the debt limit

Imagine that. A liberal biased poll done by CBS finds that 63% of Americans are opposed to raising the debt limit while only 27% favor raising it. How do these 63% of people live with themselves? They are going to make granny starve, poor people poorer and the sick even more sick! The horror! The key number from this poll is once again the independents. 64% of independents polled are against raising the debt limit. Surprisingly even 48% of Democrats are opposed while 83% of Republicans are against it. Eighty-three percent of Republicans oppose raising the limit, along with 64 percent of independents and 48 percent of Democrats. Support for raising the debt limit is just 36 percent among Democrats, and only 14 percent among Republicans.
