Economic Recovery Act Losing Public Support

[Alex]

Only 51% of Americans approve of the "stimulus" package. Seems like the more people hear about it, the less they like it.

"Notably, support for the proposal is now much lower than it was in January among those who have heard a lot about the economic stimulus. By 49% to 41%, those who have heard a lot about the proposal now see it as a good idea; in January, those who had heard a lot favored it by more than two-to-one."

Now approve: 51%
January approve: 57%

Now disapprove: 34%
January disapproval: 22%

Change in "disapprove" for...
Republicans: +20
Democrats: +7
Independents: +12
