Poll Shows Americans Support Social Security Disability Benefits
From a
press release:
A new poll, conducted by Lincoln Park Strategies, finds the vast
majority of likely voters support Social Security Disability Insurance
(SSDI) benefits and believe that Congress should target other areas of
the government when proposing cuts to balance the federal budget.
After
months of combating unfounded media and political attacks against the
SSDI benefits program, the National Organization of Social Security
Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR) commissioned a survey to ask
Americans if they believe SSDI should receive budget cuts, or remain
intact for hard-working citizens who never expected to experience a
disability. ...
Among the key findings of the poll:
83% of voters - including 75%
of Republicans – agree it would be unfair to cut SSDI benefits to
working Americans who have paid into SSDI 80% of survey respondents
support the SSDI benefits program Only 8% of voters polled believe SSDI
should be cut 77% of those polled agree that Congress should focus on
programs other than SSDI to make budget cuts 73% support SSDI program
after hearing allegations that the program is another government handout
program
