As far as I can tell, the American public want two things: First, they want massive, European-style social welfare and second, they want to keep their Bush-era tax cuts (just not for the rich). I believe Americans would be willing to compromise on some measure of deficit-reduction as long as those cuts are made to programs that they themselves individually do not benefit from.
