No, I actually believe this report.

Aren’t there now more people receiving benefit from the government than paying taxes to the government?

People can be incredibly stupid, even self-destructively stupid. (Thus the 2008 elections)

We knew this was coming for the summer election campaign for the Democrats.
It's another attempt to fool the brain dead sheeple who have no business to be voting in the first place.

Considering the source as an AP poll, I would believe they are getting some compensation for their bias polling effort. My experience is to take anything AP with a grain of salt.

It has to be BS, or selective polling as so many other polls by various sources have been coming out in favor of the Republicans time and again lately.
