A new poll shows California voters strongly support proposals to allow the Bush tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans to expire -- and overwhelmingly favor policies that allow the middle class to keep more of their earnings instead.
The statewide poll was taken by the Democratic polling firm of Greenberg Quinlan and Rosner for the SEIU. Hardly non-partisan, but Greenberg is well-respected; and the poll has good news for Democratic U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer -- in the middle of a tough re-election battle with Republican Carly Fiorina -- as she backs an end the tax cuts to the rich.
The poll also provides Democrats with a broad blueprint of how to most effectively shape their message heading toward November on the issue. The conclusion from Greenberg, according to a memo obtained by the Chronicle: the party's strongest possible message this fall is that "middle class families and small businesses are the backbone of the economy,'' and the Obama Administration proposal will cut taxes for them and "give them more money to spend" while it "helps the economy, creates jobs, and lowers the deficit."
The poll was conducted Sept. 8-13 among 400 likely voters in California, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

And in a related story, most people are economic morons.
Isn't this two lies in one?
The Bush tax cuts were across-the-board were they not?
As far as I know there are no proposals from either side for a middle class tax cut. The Dems will never propose such a thing as it violates their goal of crushing anyone with an independent means of living. The GOP don't currently have the votes or the committees to do same.
So...it's either all or nothing with the Bush cuts. Therefore the poll is based on fantasy and fiction.
Bingo. Republicans don't counter Democrat lies forcefully or consistently enough.
Most of them don’t know who Bush is.
And that philosophy has paid off so well for them!!!!
This means that the majority of Californians are on the dole and they want the gravy train to keep rolling.
Most of Congress members are in the wealthy’’ catagory without their gov’t pay,,,,tax the rich? Ha! their gov’t pay covers much of their tax bill on their ‘’other income’’ which is their wealth.
Thirty percent of them aren’t even US citizens!!!
“poll was taken by the Democratic polling firm of Greenberg Quinlan and Rosner for the SEIU. Hardly non-partisan,”
How would any state do with these folks running the poll?
That is BS.
I paid 12K per year to CA when I worked there, and that was
10% of my adj gross.
These people did a poll where Bush did something wrong/bad....I'm shocked.
California is full of mental morons. It is crazy how their own ship is sinking but they are still bragging about how their way is the right way to do things. Absolutely insane.

This explains it — I want to see the questions, looks like a push-poll.
Envy is a deadly sin for a reason.

Advice to how Dems can win in November:
“You must first communicate a commitment to change Washington - within this same framework”
In other words, LIE, LIE, and KEEP LYING!
That’s what Dems do best.
The poll I was referring to in my post 37:
“METHODOLOGY
The web poll was conducted September 1-2, 2010 among 850 individuals who fall into the following demographic groups: the “Rising American Electorate,” which consists of youth, unmarried women, and minorities; and white non-college educated respondents. The two focus groups were conducted in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 7, 2010 with white women aged 45-60 without a college degree and white men age 30-45 with a college degree. All participants were independents, weak Democrats, or weak Republicans.
“This election is not over nor fixed in concrete....Voters are still listening.”
Idiots.
How many of them even pay taxes?
