Obama pledged to be President of all Americans and earn all of our support – so, this augurs ill:
New Gallup polling shows that 53% of Americans favor and 36% oppose Congress’ passing a new $775 billion stimulus package of the type President-elect Barack Obama described in his Thursday speech on the economy. There is even higher support for specific elements it could include, such as major new government spending for infrastructure, income tax cuts, and tax incentives for businesses.
Obama won 53% of the vote, 53% back his plan. Amazing. I was figuring this to start out with 60-65% support…this stimulus is going to be a hard sell, and if it doesn’t start producing good effects quickly, support for it will crater.
