Overview of polls:
The lowest number is 56% from the Republican leaning Rassmussan to 76% from April's Gallup poll. Average of the 23 polls is 65% in favor of ending the Bush tax breaks for the rich only 30% in favor of spending cuts alone to reduce the national debt.

It is striking that CNN's recent poll noted that only 31% of the American people approve of the Tea Party and only 33% approve of the Republican Party. When you look at the CNN poll it is apparant who the 30% are in the aggregate of the above mentioned 23 polls, they are the base of the Republican party. And they are far out of step with the American People.
