David Winston, Republican pollster, Roll Call, March 8th: “Bush, in his State of the Union address, began to lay the predicate for the Social Security discussion. Polling data nearly across the board shows that Bushâs Social Security blitz in the past few weeks has convinced the majority of Americans that Social Security needs fixing now.”
CNN/USAToday poll analysis, USAToday, March 2nd: “In early January, Americans divided evenly when asked whether Social Security needs major changes in the next year or two. Now 59% say it doesn’t need to be changed right away.”
