Bailout Mess of 2008

5/28/2010, by Proloy Bhatta

HIGHLIGHTS

67% of adults believe the government should never have bailed out the banks
61% were opposed to the automaker bailout
56% believe the government should have instead helped out struggling homeowners

Pew Research conducted a poll in which they gave voters a laundry list of characteristics a politician could have and asked them whether it made them more or less likely to vote for him/her.

Issue	More likely	Less likely	No difference
Supported the health care law	39	35	22
An incumbent running for reelection	15	27	51
Supported government loans to major banks	14	49	32

Incumbents are going to have a tough time but will have an even tougher time if they supported the bailouts.

According to CBS News, 67% of adults believe the government should never have bailed out the banks. 61% were opposed to the automaker bailout but 56% believe the government should have instead helped out struggling homeowners.
