Gallup Poll: Republican Base More Dissatisfied With Debt Ceiling Deal Than Democratic Base


Some excerpts :

WASHINGTON -- A new USA Today/Gallup poll conducted Tuesday night finds that more Americans oppose (46 percent) than favor (39 percent) the debt ceiling agreement passed by Congress this week, largely confirming the results of a CNN/ORC survey conducted the day before. While both show a lack of enthusiasm about the deal across political lines, Republicans and conservatives express far more disapproval than do Democrats.

The two surveys provide a largely consistent picture of how attitudes about the agreement break down along party and ideological lines. According to the Gallup poll, a majority of Democrats (58 percent) and liberals (51 percent) approve of the deal, although significant minorities of both groups express disapproval (28 and 35 percent respectively). The results are reversed on the other side, with large majorities of Republicans (64 percent) and conservatives (64 percent) expressing disapproval. Although the CNN poll found fewer Americans with no opinion than the Gallup poll did, their results were similar by party and ideology.
