Voters in the 40 of the most competitive Democratic-held congressional districts favor the economic stimulus legislation passed by the House this week, according to a new Democratic poll.
Democracy Corps sampled 1,200 people combined in those districts, dividing them into two groups: the 20 most competitive districts in the first tier and the next 20 in a second tier.
Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg, who conducted the poll, reported that 62 percent of voters in the 20 most competitive districts favor the $819 billion stimulus plan, while 66 percent in the next tier favored the legislation.
In a broader, nationwide poll conducted by the group this week, 62 percent of Americans said they favored the president’s economic stimulus plan, and 34 percent added they would be more likely to support their representative if he or she voted for the plan. Twenty-eight percent opposed the recovery package, and 20 percent said they would be less likely to support a lawmaker who supported the stimulus.
Greenberg said Americans were “desperate” to see Obama succeed, with support steadily building for the president’s administration.
“There’s no roller-coaster feeling to this,” Greenberg said. “There’s just a steady rise in confidence.”

Probably polling DemocRATs.
The propaganda mill is running so fast, it’s going to throw a gear soon.
62% have no clue what’s in this bill
Exactly...just more “direction” for the sheeple....
Voters in the 40 of the most competitive Democratic-held congressional districts
Now do the same poll with the same questions in red states and see if the results are the same..HAHAHAHAHA..betcha they won’t be..
Democratic held congressional districts of course will be for this..they’re not working, they’re just getting and getting and getting..
The point of the poll is to compel Dems in moderate (competitive) districts to support the bill even though their instincts might tell them to vote against it.
You should take a poll! I bet the number would be closer to 99.9%.
They like it because they know too little of the real world to understand the consequences. Ask them how they like double-digit unemployment, double-digit inflation, and negative economic growth and see what the answer is then.
Don't so easily fooled by this obvious polling manipulation!
“Voters in the 40 of the most competitive Democratic-held congressional districts favor the economic stimulus legislation passed by the House this week, according to a new Democratic poll.”
Stopped reading after that sentence...lol Democrats are idiots....so of course they are ‘for’ the stimulus.
Obama’s gonna pay their mortgages, put gas in their cars,pay for their medical bills and babysit their children for free!
WooHoo!
“Exactly...just more “direction” for the sheeple....”
You got it. Tell the fools what to think. There would be no story published if the numbers went the other way.
Someone needs to tell them to try a couple different area codes then the ones for NYC, Washington DC and San Francisco.
only democRats
Greenberg said Americans were “desperate” to see Obama succeed.....
This American wants him to fall flat on his ass!
Its odd, I cant find ANYONE that thinks either package is or was a good thing...
Selective polling with HORRIBLE methodology conducted by a DEMOCRATIC group designed to get a headline to get people to feel all fuzzy about spending yet another $$TRILLION on nothing that will do anything to end the current economic woes.
