Rasmussen reports that only 19% believe the Waxman-Markey cap and trade tax climate change legislation the House passed last week will help the economy, but 42% say it will hurt the U.S. economy.
A majority of both Republicans (56%) and Independents (52%) think the bill will hurt the economy.
Among Democrats, 30% say it will help the economy.
Just like polling on bailouts, tea parties, and immigration, Rasmussen found a telling divide between divide between Mainstream America and the Political Class on cap and trade:
Fifty percent (50%) of Mainstream Americans say the climate control measure will hurt the economy, but two-thirds of the Political Class (67%) say it will help.
How can our leaders be that out of touch with their constituents?
