Poll: Americans Don’t Want Debt Ceiling Raised – by 2-to-1 ratio

A recent CBS News Poll shows Americans oppose a raise in the federal debt limit by an over 2-to-1 margin, with 63 percent opposed to only 27 percent in favor.

The Poll results show that 83 percent of Republicans and 64 percent of independents oppose raising the Debt Ceiling, while even Democrats stand against it, with 48 percent opposed to 36 percent in favor.

With these kind of results from A CBS Poll with 48 percent of Democrats even opposing it one can only hope that members of Congress are listening and will not vote to raise the Debt Ceiling when it comes to the floor. It is the only way that we will ever put a stop to the out of control spending of the government.
