Poll: Wide Majority Opposes Supreme Court Ruling on Corporate Electioneering
----------------------------------------------------------------------------



A new poll shows a vast majority of Americans oppose a recent Supreme
Court ruling allowing corporations to spend unlimited amounts on
political campaigns. The Washington Post-ABC News poll found 80 percent
oppose the ruling, and 72 percent would support congressional
legislation taking it on. The opposition was nearly even along partisan
lines—85 percent of Democrats, 76 percent of Republicans, and 81 percent
of independents.
