John Boehner's Fiscal Cliff Approach Unpopular With Voters

Voters are not impressed by House Speaker John Boehner's handling of "fiscal cliff" negotiations, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Just 25 percent of voters approve of the Ohio Republican's handling of budget negotiations, compared with 49 percent who approve of President Barack Obama's. And while Obama gets 79 percent approval from Democratic voters, Boehner garners only 39 percent approval from Republicans. He gets lower marks from moderates than from "very conservative" Republicans.

"Fiscal cliff" is the nickname for the moment at the end of the year when big automatic spending cuts are scheduled to take effect and Bush-era tax cuts are set to expire. The Congressional Budget Office has warned that if Congress fails to make the spending cuts and tax hikes less severe, it could cause a recession.

President Obama has long insisted that the tax cuts should be allowed to expire on household incomes above $250,000, while Boehner has been adamant that no tax rates should increase. Popular opinion has long been on Obama's side, as polls have consistently shown that the public favors higher taxes on higher incomes. An earlier Washington Post-Pew poll showed that most Americans would blame Republicans if fiscal cliff talks fail.

it would seem that republicans are not representing their constituents the above stats are not representative of the right wing agenda as it stands now in short they are defying the will of "we the people" in favor of their life long program to give the country to the rich. 

if your right wing offends you gouge it out where have i heard that prophecy before?

A handful of Republicans in the House, most notably Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), have broken ranks to urge Boehner to give in to Obama on the top marginal tax rates.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday that Boehner hasn't been getting much help from other top Republicans in the House.

there is hope if Beohner wants to live longer politically and bodily he needs to leave that which brings him to tears at just the thought of going to work.
