Candidates Oppose Private Accounts

From the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP):
President Bush's plan for private accounts as part of the Social Security program is a dead issue, if a recent survey of 45 heated Congressional races is an indicator. It found only one candidate out of 20 in 10 of the closest Senate races indicated support. It was even worse in 35 of the top House races where only two candidates voiced support for private accounts. An earlier election poll by AARP found 72 percent of older American voters also oppose the idea.
And yet, President Bush is preparing a new push for private accounts after the election?
