2 2 Methodology and Overview This presentation is based on a survey conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research for Democracy Corps and the Campaign for America s Future.

17 Defeating austerity and entitlement cuts 2012 Greenberg Quinlan Rosner 17
18 The structure of the argument The choice The personal cost Short-sighted and long-term Reform and cuts Populist plan 18
19 19 The choice: by more than 2 to 1, voters want to grow the economy over reducing deficits After the election, the president and the new leaders of the Congress are going to discuss what to do about the economy and budget. I'm going to read you some pairs of statements. For each pair, please tell me whether the FIRST statement or the SECOND statement comes closer to your own view, even if neither is exactly right. The biggest priority after the election is for leaders to work to grow the economy. Strongly The biggest priority after the election is for leaders to work on a plan to reduce our deficits. Strongly Grow the economy Reduce deficits
20 20 Among progressive base, margin even greater After the election, the president and the new leaders of the Congress are going to discuss what to do about the economy and budget. I'm going to read you some pairs of statements. For each pair, please tell me whether the FIRST statement or the SECOND statement comes closer to your own view, even if neither is exactly right. The biggest priority after the election is for leaders to work to grow the economy. 65 Rising American Electorate Strongly +38 The biggest priority after the election is for leaders to work on a plan to reduce our deficits. Strongly Grow the economy Reduce deficits
21 21 Focusing first on personal costs of cuts: statements at parity After the election, the president and the new leaders of the Congress are going to discuss what to do about the economy and budget. I'm going to read you some pairs of statements. For each pair, please tell me whether the FIRST statement or the SECOND statement comes closer to your own view, even if neither is exactly right. Our first priority should be putting people back to work. In a weak economy, laying off teachers, closing schools and firehouses, cutting health care for parents and grandparents makes it harder to reduce the deficit. Severe cuts will drive us back into a recession as Britain and Spain have learned. Strongly Our first priority should be cutting spending and deficits. The deficit weighs down our economy, undermines business confidence and to meet our obligations. If we keep running up deficits, we risk our credit rating like Greece and go deeper in debt to China. Strongly Back to work Cut spending
22 22 Short-sighted and long-term: progressive argument warning against slashing spending draws even After the election, the president and the new leaders of the Congress are going to discuss what to do about the economy and budget. I'm going to read you some pairs of statements. For each pair, please tell me whether the FIRST statement or the SECOND statement comes closer to your own view, even if neither is exactly right. Slashing spending now is short-sighted. It will cost millions of jobs, force cuts in schools, child nutrition and Medicare and Social Security benefits. Our children will find jobs harder to find, and will lose skills vital to compete in global economy. And more people out of work will make it harder to reduce the deficit. Strongly Spending and adding to the deficit is shortsighted. Eventually, our credit rating will fall, interest rates will go up, and our economy will slow. Our children will be left with a higher debt burden, deeper in debt to foreign creditors, and more difficult for future generations to compete in the global economy. Strongly Slashing spending is short-sighted Adding to deficit is short-sighted
23 23 Reform and targeted cuts, then investment: dominates After the election, the president and the new leaders of the Congress are going to discuss what to do about the economy and budget. I'm going to read you some pairs of statements. For each pair, please tell me whether the FIRST statement or the SECOND statement comes closer to your own view, even if neither is exactly right. It is important to cut seriously wasteful spending and abolish special interest tax breaks and subsidies so that we can invest in infrastructure and technology and make sure we can support education, Medicare and Social Security, which are key to the middle class. It is important to cut spending seriously, and that will require across-the-board reductions in the size of government and the programs it supports. Our current path is unsustainable and we need broad cuts-- including education, Medicare, and Social Security Strongly +43 Strongly Reform and invest Across-the-board cuts
24 24 Populist plan, while protecting retirement: dominant in context of entitlements After the election, the president and the new leaders of the Congress are going to discuss what to do about the economy and budget. I'm going to read you some pairs of statements. For each pair, please tell me whether the FIRST statement or the SECOND statement comes closer to your own view, even if neither is exactly right. The wealthiest have used tax breaks and loopholes to pay lower tax rates than middle class families. Any new plan to address the deficit should start by closing corporate loopholes and raising taxes for those at the top. A deficit plan should not include cuts in Medicare or Social Security. Strongly Everybody has to be willing to pay in order to get a long-term deficit reduction plan that will help America take off again. That means closing tax loopholes to raise more revenue, but also getting entitlement spending under control, including reducing the growth of Social Security and Medicare. Strongly Populist Everyone should pay
25 Even without entitlements, can win austerity argument to invest Now I'm going to read you a pair of statements about the health care reform law. After I read them, please tell me whether the FIRST statement or the SECOND statement comes closer to your own view, even if neither is exactly right. We should avoid immediate drastic cuts in spending, and instead, we need serious investments that create jobs and make us more prosperous in the long term that will reduce our debt, too. The only way to restore prosperity and market confidence is to dramatically reduce government spending and our long-term deficits. Serious investments strongly +9 Reduce spending/deficits strongly Serious investments Reduce spending/deficits *Note: From Democracy Corps National Post Election Survey with the Economy Media Project, November 6-7,

27 Key elements of S-B deemed unacceptable to voters It is possible that President Obama and Republican leaders will reach a deal for 4 trillion dollars in deficit reduction over the next 10 years. Let me ask you about some things that might be in this deal. After you hear each one, please tell me whether it is acceptable or unacceptable to you as part of an overall package of deficit reduction. Acceptable Total Unacceptable Net Capping Medicare payments, forcing seniors to pay more Requiring deep cuts in domestic programs without protecting programs for infants, poor children, schools and college aid Cutting discretionary spending, like education, child nutrition, worker training, and disease control Not raising taxes on the rich Lowering top tax rates for the rich and corporations Continuing to tax investors' income at lower rates than workers pay Reducing Social Security benefits over time by having them rise more slowly than the cost of living
28 Wide agreement on taxing the rich and shutting down tax havens abroad; majority says not taxing rich is very unacceptable It is possible that President Obama and Republican leaders will reach a deal for 4 trillion dollars in deficit reduction over the next 10 years. Let me ask you about some things that might be in this deal. After you hear each one, please tell me whether it is acceptable or unacceptable to you as part of an overall package of deficit reduction. Acceptable Total Unacceptable Net Creating a higher tax rate on those earning over one million dollars a year Raising taxes on the richest 2 percent, while keeping taxes low for middle class and working people Shutting down tax havens abroad by putting a minimum tax on corporate profits reported overseas Not raising taxes on the rich
29 Voters want to protect Social Security and Medicare It is possible that President Obama and Republican leaders will reach a deal for 4 trillion dollars in deficit reduction over the next 10 years. Let me ask you about some things that might be in this deal. After you hear each one, please tell me whether it is acceptable or unacceptable to you as part of an overall package of deficit reduction. Acceptable Total Unacceptable Net Save Medicare costs by negotiating lower drug prices from drug companies Capping Medicare payments, forcing seniors to pay more Reducing Social Security benefits over time by having them rise more slowly than the cost of living
30 Cuts to military and subsidies for Big Oil acceptable but not those that affect the middle class and working people It is possible that President Obama and Republican leaders will reach a deal for 4 trillion dollars in deficit reduction over the next 10 years. Let me ask you about some things that might be in this deal. After you hear each one, please tell me whether it is acceptable or unacceptable to you as part of an overall package of deficit reduction. Acceptable Total Unacceptable Net Cut military spending by ending the war in Afghanistan Cut subsidies to oil companies, agribusiness, and multinational corporations Cutting discretionary spending, like education, child nutrition, worker training, and disease control
31 31 Voters bottom line: protect Medicare and Social Security not part of deficit solution Now I'm going to read you a pair of statements about the health care reform law. After I read them, please tell me whether the FIRST statement or the SECOND statement comes closer to your own view, even if neither is exactly right. The federal deficit is a big national problem but we should not make major spending cuts in Social Security and Medicare. Don't cut much more The exploding federal deficit is such a national crisis that we have to cut spending broadly, including possible future cuts to Social Security and Medicare spending Must cut much more Don't cut Medicare/Social Security Must cut Medicare/Social Security
32 Mandate from election: jobs and protecting Medicare much more than deficits Now I'm going to read you some pairs of statements. After I read each pair, please tell me whether the FIRST statement or the SECOND statement comes closer to your own view, even if neither is exactly right. Given where our economy is, we should invest now in infrastructure, education and technology, and re-hiring teachers and firefighters to get people back to work to make our country stronger in the long-term. Given where our economy is, we should cut government spending and reduce the federal deficit that weighs down our economy and give confidence to businesses to invest and create jobs. Given where our economy is, we should do everything we can to help the middle class, and that means protecting Medicare and Social Security. Given where our economy is, we should cut government spending and reduce the federal deficit that weighs down our economy and give confidence to businesses to invest and create jobs. +9 Strongly Strongly Invest now Cut spending/deficit Help middle class Cut spending/deficit *Note: From Democracy Corps National Post Election Survey with the Economy Media Project, November 6-7,

34 Romney vote from jobs and economic plans, as well as cutting spending Now let me read you a list reasons to support Mitt Romney. Which THREE describe the most important reasons why you voted for Mitt Romney? Successful businessman who knows how to manage and create jobs Plan to expand offshore oil drilling, coal, and natural gas on federal lands Plan to cut taxes across the board Economic plans Will protect small businesses from taxes and regulation 23 Compassionate and religious man Worked with both Democrats and Republicans Leadership qualities Will tackle reform of Medicare and Social Security 11 Plan to cut spending and reduce national debt Ending culture of dependency by cutting food stamps and welfare Government and spending Will repeal Obamacare 33 I don't want four more years of Barack Obama

I am going to read a list of issues and I want you to tell me whether, overall, you think the Barack Obama or the Mitt Romney would do a better job with this issue.
