Apparently young adults and Latinos didn’t get the memo …

August 1, 2012

A question in the most recent McClatchy poll caught my eye …

The question: Should Congress extend the Bush tax cuts to everybody or “only to the middle class”?

I always expect this question to come out 98% to 2% in favor of hiking taxes on the “other guy”.

So, I was surprised to see the overall count at 52% to 43% in favor of extending the current tax rates for everybody.

Gets even more interesting …

Latinos are 62% to 36% in favor of extending for everybody.

Young adults 18 to 29 weighed in 69% to 29% in favor of extending to everybody.

So, two of Obama’s key constituencies seem out of line with respect to the President’s line in the sand re: jacking up taxes on the rich.

Hmmm.
