CNN Ignores Poll Results Showing Strong Support for ‘Cut, Cap, and Balance’
CNN touted results from its newly-released poll Thursday showing 64 percent of Americans favor a balance of spending cuts and tax increases in the debt ceiling debate, as well as raising the debt ceiling. What the network failed to mention in its on-air reports was that their poll also demonstrated how Americans strongly favor two conservative positions — passage of a balanced budget amendment (74 percent), along with spending cuts and future spending caps (“Cut, Cap and Balance”).
CNN’s pollsters summarized the House GOP’s “Cut, Cap and Balance” proposal:
In another proposal, Congress would raise the debt ceiling only if a balanced budget amendment were passed by both houses of Congress and substantial spending cuts and caps on future spending were approved. Would you favor or oppose this proposal?
66 percent ansered in favor.
