Senate Vote Expected to Extend Clunkers Catastrophe
As the Senate considers the merits of the program, let's consider the public's analysis. When Rasmussen began polling people about the Cash for Clunkers program in mid-June, 54% of Americans opposed the program and only 35% reported support for it. More than a month and $1 billion later, Rasmussen reports the public disapproval remains at 54%, and general approval has actually dropped to 33%.
With public support clearly not behind this clunker of a program, how many of us actually think our representatives in Senate--with a filibuster-proof 60-seat Democratic majority--are going vote against this?
