For First Time, Plurality Believes Stimulus Plan Hurt the Economy
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 30% of
voters nationwide believe the $787-billion economic stimulus plan has
helped the economy. However, 38% believe that the stimulus plan has
hurt the economy. This is the first time since the legislation passed
that a plurality has held a negative view of its impact.
The number who believe that the stimulus plan has hurt the economy rose from 28% in September, to 31% in October, and 34% in November before jumping to 38% this month. The week after the president signed the bill, 34% said it would help the economy, while 32% said it would hurt.
