So where do Americans stand on the $700 billion economic bailout plan?
Recent polls show Americans really do not support the bailout with only 28% supporting the idea. Nearly 37% oppose it and 35% are undecided.
Interestingly, of the 62% of Americans who are investors the numbers are also split on the bailout plan. 36% favor it, 36% oppose it and 28% are still undecided. Non-investors, the numbers are worse. Only 15% of non-investors support the bailout and 41% oppose it.
What makes this interesting is that 82% of Americans are saying they are following the bailout plans closely. The Presidential candidates have all said they will not be voting on the matter. And with these numbers, can you really blame them!
