President’s budget not too popular -- Washington Technology

Web poll indicates readers don’t like proposal for fiscal 2012

President Barack Obama’s fiscal 2012 budget proposal isn’t faring too well in Washington Technology’s online poll.

We ask a single question: "Is the the president’s budget leading the country is a good direction or a bad one?"

The resounding reaction so far is negative, with 54 percent of respondents saying that the budget is leading the country in a bad direction.

Thirty-seven percent say the direction is positive, while 8 percent say the budget will not change the direction of the country.

In three days of polling, we have received more than 100 responses.
