Zogby Poll: Just 27% Believe They Will Benefit From Economic Stimulus Bill

Just 27% of likely voters are optimistic the recently passed federal economic stimulus bill will personally benefit them or their family, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows.

More than half - 56% - are doubtful the stimulus package will personally help them, and another 17% are unsure. While nearly half of Democrats (48%) believe they will benefit from the stimulus, few political independents (19%) and even fewer Republicans (7%) believe they will be helped. The vast majority of Republicans (88%) and most independents (62%) remain skeptical they personally stand to gain from the new stimulus bill, compared to just 26% of Democrats who said the same.
