Which poll gives you that information? Here's a poll that gives a very different answer - only 28% of Americans support only spending cuts while 66% support a combination of spending cuts and tax increases.

The cut, cap and balance plan is one from the extreme economic right, not from moderates, and it's proposed constitutional 'balanced budget' amendment is insanity.

A CNN poll released Thursday shows that nearly two thirds of the American people support the "Cut, Cap, Balance" plan that passed the House of Representatives Tuesday, throwing a monkey wrench into President Barack Obama’s plan for a deal of grand design.

 

In other words, moderate Democrats, Independents and Conservatives are on board with the plan that is somehow on the "extreme economic right" because it expects the government to live within its means like the vast majority of Americans do.

Have you read through the rest of the polling data in there? 66% also support the grand bargain.

... and if a more conservative person was so worried about the debt ceiling debate that they thought that deadlock was unacceptable I would encourage them to embrace the grand bargain.
