Rasmussen: Support for Bailout Spikes

Popular support has shot up for the Wall Street bailout proposal that will likely see a vote today in the House of Representatives, Rasmussen reports.

According to Rasmussen, 33 percent of “likely voters” now support the plan, whereas 24 percent supported it Friday. Similarly, 32 percent oppose the deal, down from 50 percent on Friday.

More information came out about the deal this weekend, as negotiators made breakthroughs early Sunday morning and released some specifics of their agreement.
