Poll: GOP will get blame if debt ceiling not raised
http://hotair.com/archives/2011/…
The president gets a 47 – 46 percent job approval rating, unchanged from the June 9 survey by the independent Quinnipiac University. That tops a 64 – 28 percent disapproval for Democrats in Congress and a 65 – 26 percent disapproval for Republicans. Obama outscores congressional Republicans on several points in the deficit reduction battle:
Voters will blame Republicans over Obama 48 – 34 percent if the debt limit is not raised;
Voters say 67 – 25 percent that an agreement to raise the debt ceiling should include tax hikes for the wealthy and corporations, not just spending cuts;
Voters say 45 – 37 percent that Obama’s proposals to raise revenues are “closing loopholes,” rather than “tax hikes”;
But voters say 57 – 30 percent that Obama’s proposals will impact the middle class, not just the wealthy.“The American people aren’t very happy about their leaders, but President Barack Obama is viewed as the best of the worst, especially when it comes to the economy,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling institute.
