This new Gallup poll shouldn’t be too shocking: An overwhelming majority of Americans don’t like the AIG bonuses.
The poll finds that 76% of respondents want the government to block or recover the bonuses, compared to only 17% who say the government shouldn’t intervene. Also, 59% described themselves as “outraged,” 26% were “bothered,” and only 11% were “not particularly bothered.”
In the party breakdowns: 83% of Democrats wants the government to block the bonuses and 70% are outraged; 67% of Republicans want to stop the bonuses and 56% are outraged; and 77% of independents want to block the bonuses and 54% are outraged.
Unfortunately, there is no polling out there on Chuck Grassley’s comments.
