Poll: 65% of Americans Support Balanced Budget Amendment - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine

A Sachs/Mason Dixon poll released today [PDF]

has

found that “65 percent of the public supports” a balanced

budget amendment, “with 27 percent opposed, [and] 8 percent

undecided.” By party affiliation, that breaks down as “81 percent

of Republicans, 68 percent of independents and 45 percent of

Democrats.”

This jibes with the first-ever Reason-Rupe

Poll, which found that 74 percent of Americans think that the

federal government needs some kind of spending cap to keep

expenditures in line with revenues. Percentage breakdown there

among R/I/D: 85/76/64. Here, visualize it:
