Hard to say which one better reflects what people want, isn't it? Not an easy question to pose neutrally.
I think the 1st one is kinda neutral, the second remind me of the poll the french mafiaa ran a couple of months ago asking if people were in favor of internet filtering or would rather be sent to jail instead and then claim 60% (or whatever bullshit number) of the french people supported internet filtering.

If your poll question is long, it's that you put the answer in it. If you ask simply if people are in favor of the bill or if they are in favor of internet filtering with a simple Yes / No you'll get somewhat more accurate number than asking : would you rather have the bailout voted or die from starvation ?
