Just to quantify a bit:

White voters with a college degree support a mix of cuts and tax hikes 52 - 41 percent while white voters with no college degree want cuts only 55 - 33 percent.

Kind of explains some of the rationale around here.

BTW, since you're poll kinda guy, a couple of other polls show that 61% of American voters want the rich to pay more taxes to balance the budget, and 80% of voting Americans under 30 want the rich taxed more.
