Rasmussen Reports latest poll shows a clear picture of how American citizens feel about the stimulus bill that the President said must not be delayed. According to the newest poll only 25% of Americans believe the stimulus bill helped the economy while 31% say it hurt. Furthermore, American citizens do not want to any type of second stimulus. This report has many good signs for conservatives as more than 51% of respondents support an "across-the-board tax cut."
Forty-five percent (45%) of Americans say the rest of the new government spending authorized in the first stimulus plan should now be canceled. Thirty-six percent (36%) disagree, and 20% are not sure.
However, while voters are opposed to another spending stimulus plan, 51% favor an across-the-board tax cut for all Americans.
The administration’s biggest current economic initiative, a retooling of the U.S. health care system, is now drawing increasing criticism as well. Fifty-three percent (53%) of voters oppose the health care reform plan proposed by the president and congressional Democrats.
Just 20% now say health care reform is the most important of the four budget priorities Obama laid out early in his presidency. Nearly twice as many (37%) say deficit reduction is the number one priority.
Fifty-one percent (51%) of voters worry that the government will try to do too much to fix the country’s economic problems, while 36% fear it won’t do enough. Seventy-six percent (76%) of Americans say it is at least somewhat likely that a large amount of money in the stimulus plan will be wasted due to inadequate government oversight.
