Public Would
Significantly Alter Administration's Budget
In a rebuke of
President Bush's announced budget priorities, Americans polled recently
favored significant reductions in the national deficit through downsizing
the Defense Department, elimination or sun-downing of Mr. Bush's recent tax
cuts, and increases in social spending on alternative energy, education, and
the environment.

As Moral Document
The American
Public On International Issues poll, issued March 7, 2005, reveals
there is broad agreement among Americans on many important national and
international issues, regardless of their party affiliation. See

program of the Center on Policy Attitudes (COPA)
and the Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland (CISSM),
the School of Public Affairs,
University of Maryland.
