Newsmax/InsiderAdvantage Poll...
Voters
Don’t Want Debt Ceiling Hike
Friday, 08 Jul 2011
By David A. Patten
Republican
and independent voters are
strongly opposed to any deal to increase the federal debt ceiling, and
any GOP
politician who dares to do so could be vulnerable to a primary
challenge,
according to a Newsmax/InsiderAdvantage poll.
Overall,
voters oppose raising the
debt ceiling by a strong 45 percent to 32 percent margin, with the
remainder
undecided.
But
the real eye-opener in the poll is
the stiff Republican and swing-voter opposition to a deal. Sixty-seven
percent
of GOP voters and 51 percent of independents think raising the debt
ceiling is
a bad idea.
Democratic
voters, by comparison
favored raising the debt ceiling by a 44 to 21 percent margin.
Interestingly,
35 percent of Democrats say they are either undecided on the question,
or don’t
know enough to have an opinion.
