Poll: American public strongly opposes debt ceiling increase

The Hill reports:

The administration's warning of dire economic consequences for failing to increase the debt ceiling has not gained traction with the American public, as an overwhelming majority opposes the increase, according to a new poll.

Of those surveyed in a Reuters/Ipsos poll, 71 percent opposed increasing the borrowing authority. Only 18 percent support the increase.

No word yet when the liberal media will start calling the 71% "extremists".
