Democrats tout polls showing public support for their $3.5 trillion social spending and tax hike bill, which critics (in horror) and supporters (gleefully) say will transform the American way of life.

Qinnipiac in late July found 62% supported and 32% opposed what its survey described as a “spending bill on social programs such as childcare, education, family breaks, and expanding Medicare for seniors.” A Monmouth poll painted the bill in equally rosy colors and discovered 63% support, 35% opposed. To which one can only smile ironically and wonder if the pollsters thought of mentioning mom and apple pie.
