Via Matt Yglesias, the latest Gallup poll showsthat Americans overwhelmingly support more deficit-increasing stimulus to create new jobs and jump-start the economy. Interestingly, the poll also shows that more Americans favor carbon regulation than Wall Street regulation right now — perhaps as the conference committee merging the financial regulatory reform bills is out of the daily news cycle, but BP’s disastrous handling of the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is not.
And the poll also shows a strong break on party lines. Self-identified Democrats and independents want stimulus, carbon regulation and Wall Street reform. Self-identified Republicans want none of those things.
