Zogby Interactive: 64% Oppose Raising Debt Ceiling, But 55% Believe Congress
Will Do It
================================================================================
Zogby Interactive poll on 11/17/2010 08:08:00


44% SAY CUTTING INESSENTIAL SERVICES WOULD PREVENT DEBT DEFAULT
UTICA, New York - Nearly two-thirds of likely voters oppose Congress raising the
debt ceiling, but 55 percent say the next Congress will vote to raise it despite
the opposition. More than 80 percent believe that if the debt ceiling is not
raised, the federal government would cut services and be able to avoid default
on the debt.
Those results come from a Zogby Interactive poll of likely voters conducted from
Nov. 12-15, 2010.
The most recent increase in the U.S. debt ceiling to $14.3 trillion was signed
into law last February. A Congressional vote on raising it again is anticipated
sometime early in the next Congressional session. Some newly elected Republican
members have said they will oppose another increase.
