New Poll: GOP Priorities Still Out of Touch with American People

Another day, another poll showing how out of touch the GOP priorities are with the American people. According to a new Quinnipiac poll released today:

A majority say they trust President Obama more than congressional Republicans to handle the economy (45 percent to 38 percent).

By a 14-point margin, more of those surveyed say they will blame Republicans for failing to raise the debt ceiling rather than President Obama (48 percent to 34 percent).

Nearly 7 out of 10 (67 percent) say any agreement to raise the debt ceiling should include rolling back tax breaks for the wealthiest few and corporations not spending cuts alone.

By a 30-point margin, more Americans say it is more important to reduce unemployment than to reduce the budget deficit (62 percent to 32 percent).
