That will prove to be a problem for the GOP. The vast majority of Americans support a combination of selected tax increases and spending cuts.
Polls show Americans see the GOP's obstruction and will blame the Republicans for any fallout from a possible default.
It shows 64% want a combination of tax increases and spending cuts, the Democrat's plan
Polls continue to show a majority of Americans oppose raising the debt limit. So how can polling data show that such a large majority of Americans oppose to raising the debt ceiling--the Republican position--and be in favor of the Democrats non-plan.
I think you misrepresent the Republican position. They are quite willing to raise the debt limit, they just want to extort the public to do it.
CNN just released a poll of 1,000 Americans showing overwhelming support for the House Republican approach to the debt limit crisis. Specifically, 66 percent of Americans favor a deal where both houses of Congresses pass a balance budget amendment, and substantial cuts and caps on future spending, in exchange for a debt limit hike.
As a stand-alone measure, 74 percent of Americans favor a constitutional amendment to require a balanced federal budget. And 60 percent of Americans believe a balanced budget amendment is necessary to get federal deficits under control.
And yet that idiot Harry Reid is out there saying how this is the worst legislation in the history of the country.

Harry Reid: Cut, Cap And Balance "Worst Piece Of Legislation" Ever | RealClearPolitics
Hummmm...what was that you were saying again?
Quite simple. I said Two-thirds of Americans support House Cut Cap and Balance Plan.
I'm not sure what all that other stuff you brought up has to do with it.
It's from the poll you're using.
It shows 64% want a combination of tax increases and spending cuts, the Democrat's plan.
It means you and the GOP do not have the backing of the American public.
In fact, the poll shows just the opposite,
the public blames the GOP for the impasse and will overwhelmingly blame the GOP for any default.

I wonder if the 50 percent of Americans who “…believe a balanced budget amendment is necessary to get federal deficits under control” know that both balanced budget amendments being offered (H.J.RES.1 and S.J.RES 5) are intentionally worded to avoid balancing the annual budget and neither contain a provision to require an annually balanced federal budget! So why are they called “balanced budget amendments” if they do not require an annually balanced budget?

So if not now--WHEN?--- After we go over the cliff--or before?
There are 18,000 baby boomers entering social security/medicare DAILY and this will continue for the next 15 years--resulting in another 64 trillion in unfunded liabilities on top of the 14.3 trillion in red ink now. This equates to $534,000.00 per household debt OWED to the Federal Government to pay this tab.

1 trillion dollars--$100.00 bills stacked on palets. NOTE: How small the man is in this chart.
The Federal Government is currently borrowing .43 cents on every dollar it spends.
Now they are asking to raise their credit card limit so they can borrow and spend more.
Basically we need 79 of the TRILLION dollar chart to break even. And you don't want a balanced budget amendment NOW-- Well 74% of the American public disagree with you.
