The results in the link are not from a poll. It's from 11 different polls.Yeah right....First question in poll.."Do you earn under $50k per year?"It appears that Republicans have walked away from a historic opportunity to reduce the deficit because of their obsessive insistance that not one penny come from higher revenues.

There is a high degree of consistency in every poll I could find on this topic. ...

Polls are for the uninformed and the easily led.

or Should There Be Some Increase in Taxes?
The question leaves no room for misinterpretation.
All the polls agree, we should not have just spending cuts.
