November 29-December 2, 2012: United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll—Nationwide poll on spending cuts for low income programs.
(Now I have a few questions about some issues before the US (United States) Congress in Washington.)…(I’m going to read you some government programs whose spending could be cut to help reduce the federal budget deficit. As I read each one, please tell me if you think spending should be cut back a lot, some, or not at all to help reduce the deficit.) What about…food stamps and housing vouchers that go to low income families?

2% Don’t know/Refused
