With the fiscal cliff looming just weeks away, the Pew
Research Center released a poll reflecting the public's concerns regarding the
ongoing negotiations between the White House and Republican Congressmen. 40% of Americans believe lawmakers will
reach a deal before the January 1st deadline, when mandatory
spending cuts and tax increases take effect. 49% believe no deal will come to fruition, hurling the U.S.
over the fiscal cliff – something many experts believe will drag the economy into
another recession. If no deal is
reached, 53% of the public said they'd blame Republican Congressmen, and just
27% would place blame on President Obama.
Democrats are more optimistic about negotiations, with 55% saying they
expect a deal to emerge before the New Year, compared with just 22% of
Republicans
