Poll: 38 percent think stimulus will help
A Rasmussen Reports poll released Monday shows 38 percent of voters nationwide think the $787 billion stimulus plan passed by Congress will help the economy.
Almost more surprising is that 29 percent believe the plan will hurt the economy and 24 percent say it will have little impact.
President Barack Obama is scheduled to sign the measure today. Maine Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, two of the three Republicans to vote in favor of the stimulus, will be in Augusta today (Snowe) and Wednesday (Collins) to talk to editors at the Kennebec Journal about what's going on in Washington.
So what do you think? Will the stimulus help or hurt the economy?
