Majority would vote against raising debt ceiling .... A Fox News national poll asks voters to imagine being a lawmaker and having to cast an up-or-down vote on raising the debt ceiling: 37 percent would vote in favor of it, while 58 percent would vote against it. ..... Most Republicans (78 percent) and a majority of independents (57 percent) would vote against raising the limit. So would almost all Tea Partiers (88 percent). ..... More than half of Democrats would vote in favor of increasing the debt ceiling (57 percent), while 38 percent would vote against doing so. At the same time, 62 percent of voters want Congress to raise the limit only after agreeing on “major cuts in government spending.” .... Even Democrats, by a 48-42 percent margin, are more likely to say spending cuts must accompany an increase in the debt limit. By wide margins Republicans (77-11 percent) and independents (65-26 percent) would require cuts in government spending before agreeing to raise the debt ceiling. Meanwhile, by a nine percentage-point margin, voters are likely to think the automatic government spending cuts that went into effect March 1 are more a good thing than a bad thing (48-39 percent). That’s mostly unchanged from how voters felt about the sequester cuts earlier this year. Republicans (63 percent) are nearly twice as likely as Democrats (32 percent) to say the cuts are a good thing. More than half of independents (53 percent) agree, as do three-quarters of Tea Partiers (76 percent). http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/10/08/fox-news-poll-majority-would-vote-against-raising-debt-ceiling/ A majority of Americans do NOT support Obama's extreme no negotiation / no spending cuts position.
