Poll: 57% Say Obama Would Spend New Tax Revenue On Gov't Programs; 70% Say Less Spending Would Grow Economy

A new survey shows that 57% of likely voters think Pres. Obama would use any additional tax revenue to increase spending on government programs - not to reduce the debt/deficit.

According to the new nationwide survey conducted by The Tarrance Group for the non-profit group Public Notice, only 32% of Americans actually believe Obama would use the additional tax revenue to pay down the deficit, leaving 11% unsure how he'd use the money.

Likewise, fully 70% of voters say reducing government spending would be the best way to grow the economy, compared to only 23% who say more government spending would do the job (7% are "Unsure").
