Poll: Majority Would Only Vote For Raising the Debt Ceiling After Spending Cuts

Only 37 percent would vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling

Soon Congress will have to vote on raising the nation's debt limit so the federal government can borrow more money to make good on its spending commitments.  If it were up to the American public, they would vote no—with a majority saying the debt limit should only be raised after major spending cuts have been made.  

A Fox News national poll asks voters to imagine being a lawmaker and having to cast an up-or-down vote on raising the debt ceiling:  37 percent would vote in favor of it, while 58 percent would vote against it.
