The entire Gallup survey available here is interesting, but most people think that the deficit is due to spending and that there seems to be a lot more political support for cutting spending than there is for raising taxes. Unlike the newest WSJ/NBC poll, another question shows that only 19 percent favor increasing the debt limit, with 47 percent saying no. The WSJ/NBC poll shows a dramatically different result for June: Do not raise 42%, Should be raised 46%. Part of the difference between the two surveys may be that Gallup survey was done in May and the WSJ/NBC was done in June, but it can't explain all of the difference.
