Rasmussen Poll: Americans Want Tax Cuts, Not Obamanomics

Some fascinating polling results from Rasmussen:

1) 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.

2) Opposition has grown from 34% two weeks ago to 39% last week and 43% today. Sixty-four percent (64%) of Democrats still support the plan. That figure is down from 74% a week ago. Just 13% of Republicans and 27% of those not affiliated with either major party agree.

3) Seventy-two percent (72%) of Republicans oppose the plan along with 50% of unaffiliated voters and 16% of Democrats.

4) Despite the declining support, 78% say it is at least somewhat likely that the economic recovery package proposed by PresidentObama and congressional Democrats will become law during Obama's first 100 days in office. That figure includes 36% who say passage is Very Likely. That latter figure is down significantly from a week ago when 52% said passage of the legislation was Very Likely.

5) A stimulus plan that includes only tax cuts is now more popular than the economic recovery plan being considered in Congress. Forty-five percent (45%) favor a tax-cut only plan while 34% are opposed.

Me:  Whatever the economic impact of the Obama plan, it is not a confidence builder. And that is a huge problem.
