FiveThirtyEight.com: Electoral Projections Done Right: News Accounts May Overstate Public Opposition to Bailout Quote:
"Do you favor or oppose the economic rescue plan now being negotiated by Congress and the Bush Administration?"
Among Rasmussen's respondents, 50 percent said they opposed the plan and just 24 percent said they supported it. ...
"As you may know, the government is potentially investing billions to try and keep financial institutions and markets secure. Do you think this is the right thing or the wrong thing for the government to be doing?"
When the question is framed in this way, 57 percent of people support the bailout, as compared to 30 percent who opposite it.
