Poll: 58% support budget deal

Fifty-eight percent of U.S. adults polled said they approved of the agreement reached by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) late Friday night that cuts $38 billion from federal spending between now and the end of September.

Thirty-eight percent disapproved of the deal, while 5 percent had no opinion, according to a CNN/Opinion Research poll released Monday.

The poll’s internal numbers found that Democrats and Independents were most likely to favor the deal. Democrats backed it 66-28 percent (with a 6 percent margin of error), while Independents supported it 56-39 percent (with a 5 percent margin of error).

Republicans, by contrast, expressed slight opposition to the deal.
