Q poll: 4 percent favor tax hikes to slash deficit - Glenn Thrush - POLITICO.com:

Quinnipiac is out with a new poll on voter preferences to attack the deficit and reports — surprise, surprise — that very few people want to have their taxes hiked.

Four percent (!) favor income tax increases as the sole way of plugging the gap, estimated well north of $1 trillion this year. But 42 percent would tolerate some hikes if they were coupled with spending cuts; 49 percent favor spending cuts only."
