Not a fun day for Conscience Caucus member Rep. Denny Rehberg of Montana?
He’s tagging along today with the president’s Bamboozlepalooza Tour.
But look at this poll that just came out from the Great Falls Tribune …
President Bush might need to use all his Texas straight talk to convince Montanans to support letting individual workers invest part of their Social Security funds in stocks and bonds.
Montanans oppose switching to personal Social Security investment accounts by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, according to a statewide opinion poll conducted for the Great Falls Tribune.
Nearly 59 percent of the 405 adults surveyed oppose the idea, while nearly 30 percent support it.
…
Baucus opposes the idea, citing concern about the estimated $2 trillion cost of making up for the money diverted into private accounts.
He also fears the president’s plan will reduce benefits to future retirees.
Poll respodents leaned toward the senator, with 54 percent saying they are more likely to support Baucus’ position on personal Social Security accounts. About 28 percent said they support the president’s position. Another 18 percent supported neither position or were undecided.
Does someone need a Loud and <$NoAd$> Proud moment?
