Bad news for Democrats on new stimulus

Rasmussen Reports:

As the policy debate has unfolded in Washington this year, voters have consistently believed that tax cuts would do more than increased government spending to stimulate the economy and create jobs. Now that the nation’s unemployment rate has reached 10.2%, voters continue to hold that view.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 62% believe tax cuts are a better way to create jobs and fight unemployment. Only 21% believe that additional stimulus spending is a more effective tool. Earlier this year, as the first stimulus package was being debated in Congress, 62% of voters wanted the plan to have more tax cuts and less spending.

Canceling the remaining spending under the current plan drew 51 percent of those polled. It appears that the majority of voters favor the solutions on jobs that the Republicans have been pushing. This should be good news for the GOP in 2010. Independents also break for tax cuts and spending restraints by a slight majority.
