Pew poll on Social Security

The trends are still there:

Among people aged 18-29, 49 percent favored private accounts while 25 percent were opposed. A month ago, 66 percent of people under 30 supported such accounts and 19 percent were opposed, the poll found.

This is the group that Republicans thought would be easy to sway to their side and turn into life long supporters of the GOP. In fact, the opposite has happened. Here's why:

Among people under 30 who have heard a lot about the plan, 45 percent are opposed to it. Among people under 30 who haven't heard a lot about the plan, only 19 percent oppose it.

A whole lot of knowledge is a dangerous thing to the Bush plan, and the more he educates the country, the less they like what he has to sell.

And from another poll:

Congressional Democrats were favored over Bush on the issue of strengthening Social Security by a margin of 49 percent to 38 percent.

So keep touring, President Bush, to put people off from you plan and to push them into trusting Democrats more. We appreciate your hard work.
