The poll finds that 53 percent of Americans want the Bush-era tax cuts extended only for households earning less than $250,000 per year. That roughly matches the proposal put forth by the White House, which wants to extend the cuts only for incomes less than $250,000 for families and $200,000 for individuals.

Just 26 percent of Americans say they support extending the cuts for all Americans, even those earning above the $250,000 level, which is the GOP proposal.

So if such an overwhelming majority of Americans opposes tax cuts for everybody, why do Dems say they will allow the extensions?
The GOP won't even have majority in the senate next year. let alone 60 votes or enough to override a veto.

CBS. Never trust a poll from any network that calls it’s reports “fake, but accurate.”

I think that the general public looks at it from this perspective:
- the strategy the Republicans have decided to follow will result in the loss of tax cuts for everyone.
- it’s better to extend some of the tax cuts rather than none of the tax cuts.
That’s certainly how I look at it.

If this poll be valid, the US population deserve their coming dismal fate.
I just wish I wasn’t in the same boat they are going to sink.

Just one of the many illustrations as to why the U.S. is not a democracy.

MOST of CBS opposes the plan.
Insofar as the people, MOST of them voted the GOP'ers in...so CBS's logic is not logical...but then, it never is.

If this polling was so correct then the GOP wouldn't have picked up 60+ seats in the House and 6 in the Senate. The GOP ran on keeping the tax cuts for all even during the campaigns.

I doubt 20% of the morons know what the poll is talking about.
To: ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas
Americans say they support extending the cuts for all Americans,... Americans do not support the Obama tax increases.

The opposition is caused by the state run media BLASTING their CLASS WARFARE meme on the airwaves 24x7. The sheeple are not smart enough to try and dig out the facts - whatever the alphabet networks spout has to be the “TRUTH”.
Until the GOP can figure out how to upstage the state run media, it will constantly be a challenge. The GOP starts out at a negative in order to win any electoral race - you cannot continue to go up against this crap every 2 years - there has to be a way and fast. We are losing America piece by piece everyday.

Polls conducted long before the next election will say whatever the biased pollsters want them to.
When elections are close however,they HAVE to put a little credibility in them before the electorate proves their craven politicized perfidy.
And we are almost as far from the next election as possible.

The only polls that count are elections.

The tax system must be redone to make everybody pay. A flat tax would be nice because everybody would have the same “skin in the game”. I am tired of reading that people who pay little or no income tax oppose tax breaks for people that do.

Let's see. Dan Rather. Fake automobile crash results. The cover up of Mary Jo Kopechne's death.
I don't think I trust their poll.
