No thank you seems to be the message from likely U.S. voters when it comes to the $3.5 trillion spending bill currently before Congress. A new Ramussen Reports national phone and online survey shows just 36 percent of likely U.S. voters support passing the bill. Twenty-three percent strongly support passing it.
However, 53 percent said they are opposed, and that includes 41 percent who are strongly opposed. Fifty-two percent of voters said they oppose raising the limit on federal borrowing. Just 40 percent support increasing it.
