A key initiative in Obama’s SOTU speech was a three-year freeze on discretionary government spending. But voters aren't buying it , according to Rasmussen they overwhelmingly believe the freeze will have little or no impact on the federal deficit.

In fact only nine percent think the freeze will reduce the deficit a lot. Eighty-one percent disagree, including 42% who say it will have absolutely no impact. Another 39% say the freeze will reduce the deficit a little.

So after Obama raises President Bush’s spending 23% he wants to freeze it at that level. No thanks. Hey Obama, how about reducing the spending.
