67% Familiar with the plan 23% Favor the plan 35% Oppose the plan 42% Have no opinion 52% “The more I hear about the plan the less I like it” 34% “The more I hear about the plan the more I like it”
64% Familiar with the plan 25% Favor the plan 37% Oppose the plan 37% Have no opinion 49% “The more I hear about the plan the less I like it” 38% “The more I hear about the plan the more I like it” McInturff stated, “This data is hauntingly similar to what we saw in 1994.
