AP Poll: Balanced budget more important than tax cuts, by 2-1

by Dave Konkel [Moderator] Apr 13, 2004 11:17PM PDT

Poll: Balanced budget beats tax cuts.
" As the nation's tax deadline of April 15 approaches, people's lukewarm feeling about tax cuts may be influenced by a belief that recent cuts haven't helped them personally. Half in the poll, 49 percent, said their overall tax burden - including federal, state and local taxes - had gone up over the past three years. That's almost four times the 13 percent in the poll who said their overall taxes had gone down."

Sounds like people are wising up -- bad news for Bush...
