What does it say about our society when the majority support using taxpayer money to kill babies?

(The Hill) — Nearly six in 10 Americans favor the spending agreement last Friday that staved off a government shutdown, according to a new poll on Monday.

Fifty-eight percent of U.S. adults polled said they approved of the agreement reached by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) late Friday night that cuts $38 billion from federal spending between now and the end of September.

Thirty-eight percent disapproved of the deal, while 5 percent had no opinion, according to a CNN/Opinion Research poll released Monday.

The poll’s internal numbers found that Democrats and Independents were most likely to favor the deal. Democrats backed it 66-28 percent (with a 6 percent margin of error), while Independents supported it 56-39 percent (with a 5 percent margin of error).

The CNN poll indicated that Americans thought neither side gave up too much in the agreement, and suggested opposition to the riders that almost scuttled a deal. Sixty-five percent of respondents said funding to Planned Parenthood should continue, while 71 percent favor continued funding to the EPA to enforce its greenhouse gas regulations.
