UTICA, New York -
Fifty-six percent of people who voted in the mid-term election favor federal spending on infrastructure projects that create jobs, but they are also more likely to side with the Republican position on other key decisions the next Congress may face, according to the latest Zogby Interactive poll.
The poll of 2,185 voters was conducted from Nov. 3-5, 2010.
The finding on voter preference for job-creating infrastructure spending is consistent with our previous findings. For example, in July of this year, 53% of likely voters said that "federal spending targeted to create and maintain employment is a more important concern than the federal deficit."
Some of the poll questions provided competing positions on issues that stated the general position of each party and some rationale for the position. Others provided policy positions and asked voters if they favored or opposed each. Another question provided alternatives for further legislation regarding the healthcare reform bill passed in 2009.
Forty eight per cent of hose surveyed supported repeal of the healthcare bill.
The tables below show the results for all voters, independents, Republicans and Democrats. Not sure responses are not included.
