Poll: No Sale for Obama's Spending Plans

From Rasmussen:

…Rasmussen Reports asked voters the same three questions about the president’s economic proposals on the two nights prior to the speech and then again on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

On the first two nights, 39% supported the proposals. On the next two nights, support was 41%.

Fifty percent (50%) of Likely U.S. Voters now oppose the federal government spending more money in areas like education, transportation and technological innovation, up from 45% in the previous survey…

This is getting to be like the border security issue – the people just ain’t buying what the government is selling. Obama can call it “investment” all he wants, but everyone knows it is just more spending – and as a bankrupt nation, we just can’t spend any more.

The GOP holds all the cards in this provided we hold firm – if we betray the American people on the matter of spending and government reform, then we’re toast. If, on the other hand, we do the right thing, then we just might win enough power in 2012 to thoroughly reform our nation.
