A new Rasmussen poll shows that support for the stimulus plan appears to be falling precipitously in the last two weeks, since it became as heavily politicized as it is now:
Do you favor or oppose the economic recovery package proposed by Barack Obama and the Congressional Democrats?
Favor 37%
Oppose 43%
A week ago Rasmussen had a 42%-39% plurality favoring the plan, and a 45%-34% margin of support two weeks ago. Support among independents has fallen to 27%, unchanged from a week ago but down from 37% support two weeks ago.
So the Republican talking points out there against he bill — too much spending, redistribution of wealth, stacking hundred-dollar bills on top of each other, etc — appear to be having some measure of success.
