From POLITICO:
Nearly two-thirds of Americans do not believe the $787 billion stimulus package the president passed last year has helped create jobs, according to a new Pew Research Center poll.Poll: Most Americans think the stimulus didn't help - Andy Barr - POLITICO.com
Sixty-two percent of those polled said the stimulus hasn’t contributed to job creation, while 33 percent said the package has.
Only a slight majority, 51 percent, of Democrats think the stimulus helped create jobs; 42 percent said it has not. Seventy-nine percent of self-identified Republicans said the stimulus didn’t aid job growth, while 18 percent thought it did.
The survey also showed that voters are mixed on whether the Troubled Asset Relief Program was effective in staving off a deeper financial crisis.
Forty-nine percent said TARP did not prevent a more severe crisis, compared to 42 percent who said it did.
