'The survey also contained a warning for the Democrats about how their opposition to any reform of the Social Security system is playing with the electorate.
"By an overwhelming 70-22 percent margin, voters believe that opponents of President Bush's proposals for Social Security reform have an obligation to put out their own plan for reforming the program," including 55 percent of Democratic voters, Mr. Zogby said in a report of his findings. '

Similiar to the FERS TSP. Democrats are angry because you will have more control of your money. The AARP is a bunch of sheeple listening to the likes of kenndey/kerry/shrillary and the rest of the,"Doom&Gloom" party of Death. NSNR

I don't trust Zogby polls, but it will be interesting to see how this is covered in the press. The past few weeks the goofs on CNN's Capitol Gang and elsewhere have been cackling about how W had spent his political capital for no reason.

Even if this poll is only valuable as a loose indicator of the direction things are HEADING in terms of Bush's plan, it seems he's been Misunderestimated again. (Am reading the Bill Sammon book Misunderestimated, a good read.)

Thanks for the post.

I didn't see in the full article the wording of the poll on which to vote. Anyone have access to the exact wording?

For those that are new to this issue, Zogby has been polling the idea of personal accounts for a number of years, and each year support for it has gone up in his surveys. He has the most credibility on the polling of this issue in my eyes because he has a track record of doing it for a number of years.

His results for the past polls were still on his website as of four months ago when I last looked.

The numbers do not apply to the current abomination the Bush administration has proposed. Only private accounts in general.

TR had "The Square Deal".
FDR had "The New Deal".
GWB needs to use this kind of marketing and call his SS plan "The Better Deal".

If you want to sell policy, you need a simple, catchy name that people can feel good about. Had Newt Gingritch not bundled his proposals as the "Contract With America", he wouldn't have been nearly as successful.
