“Very Few” was 70 percent, according to this article and referenced poll.

I doubt 70% of the people were voting to against Democrats because of Medicare.

Excuse me if I find that poll suspect.

Looking at the poll itself it has some odd results. In the question on supporting the shut down of the Gov't, only 13% doing so to keep Medicare from being cut.

55% said they would support it to stop Democrats from increasing the debt.

57% said the top priority was to cut spending, while only 27% said to maintain benefits

One of the top priorities of Congress should be, according by Tea Partiers, reducing the deficit (66%) while only 9% said it should be maintaining services and benifits.

I would consider 9% 'a few' in relation to 66%.

I don't know how they phrased the question regarding Medicare, it may have been a priority question, nothing in the poll actually stated what those responding actually wanted to be cut!
