CNN Poll: 56% of Americans Oppose Stimulus Program

According to a poll released today by CNN, 56 percent of Americans oppose President Obama's stimulus bill, which was signed into law last March. The bill, officially known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, increases government spending while simultaneously cutting taxes in an attempt to stimulate the staggering economy. So far, the bill has cost the government $787 billion. These results clearly show that Americans have grown dissatisfied with the program since its initial implementation, as polls in March had 54 percent in favor and only 44 percent against the bill. The poll questioned 1021 American adults over the telephone and has a plus or minus 3 percent sampling error. This is just another indication of the popular sentiment regarding our president. It seems that many people are growing impatient with the lack of results of all this spending. I, for one, trust that the president's efforts will pay off in the long run and that the U.S. will climb out of the recession.
