Most oppose auto bailout — poll
Posted: 02:05 PM ET
By Paul Steinhauser
CNN Deputy Political Director
WASHINGTON (CNN) — A new national poll suggests that six in 10 Americans oppose using taxpayer money to help the ailing major U.S. auto companies.

Sixty-one percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Wednesday are dead set against the federal government providing billions of dollars in assistance to the automakers, while 36 percent favor such a bailout.

The poll, conducted Monday and Tuesday, also indicates that a majority of Americans, 53 percent, don’t think government assistance for the automakers would help the U.S. economy.

“Only 15 percent say that they would be immediately affected if the auto companies went bankrupt,” said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “Seven in 10 say that a bailout would be unfair to American taxpayers.”
