March 2005.
WOW! A whole year ago! Sorry. I didn't realize it was SOOOOO outdated. Here's their report for 2006 (it's from April so it's still pretty ancient). It looks like you're falling behind the current system. (You're plan is pretty bad when it can't even get more support that the current system. Pitiful.)
When asked to choose between a flat-rate income tax with no deductions, a national sales tax or the current graduated income tax with deductions, 33 percent chose a flat-rate income tax, while 20 percent favored a national sales tax and 21 percent favored the current system of a graduated-rate income tax with deductions. Support for a flat income tax rose with income and age, and was significantly higher among married respondents (37 percent) and those over age 55 (41 percent).

But that's still not the FairTax nor is is indicative whether those being polled even had the slightest notion of what a "national sales tax" even was.

That's a lousy polling technique ... unless you're after a particular outcome. Means nothing - but then most of your posts are like that.

LOL. Thanks for the link. Of course people voting in three metropolitan counties is worthless data.

Still no demographics on the sample. What was it? 700 people? LOL. Are you serious?
