EXCLUSIVE: VOTERS DON'T GET THE BUDGET - A new Tarrance Group poll of 801 likely voters has some pretty stunning numbers on public perceptions of the U.S. budget. From the findings: "A majority of voters incorrectly believes the federal government spends more on defense/foreign aid than it does on Medicare and Social Security (63%). Also, a similar majority (60%) incorrectly believes problems with the federal budget can be fixed by just eliminating waste, fraud and abuse. Voters do not casually agree with these untruths- at least 40% strongly agree. Further, less than half (44%) believe Medicare and Social Security costs are a major source of problems for the federal budget (49% disagree)." Full results: http://politi.co/hSVbI8
