ABC-WaPo poll: Most back cuts overall – but not to the military. “The public by nearly 2-1, 61-33 percent, supports cutting the overall budget along the lines of the sequester that took effect last Friday. But by nearly an identical margin, Americans in this ABC News/Washington Post poll oppose an eight percent across-the-board cut in military spending.” #narrativefail.

Most half way intelligent citizens are not against cuts. They are against stupid cuts, like exceptions being passed in Congress for their pet projects while beggaring the military. Those cuts don't just affect the hardware, as they keep trying to convince us. It affects soldiers, sailors and airmen and their families. And with many of those qualifying for food stamps, it hardly seems appropriate to cut them anymore!
I am stunned. Not at the results of the poll, but that these two bastions of ultra liberalism/communism/O-asskissing would report this without cooking the numbers.
Who says they didn't cook the numbers?
It could have been a much wider margin, but they are trying to make O not look so bad.
