I don't quite understand why people are so hung up on this opinion poll. Big deal, Rudd just blew our surplus in one fell swoop, of course he will be extremely popular for a while after this mass handout. It does not take a genius to figure this amazing fact out.
The more important question is will this "stimulus package" actually stimulate the economy or will the entire concept end up being extremely poor policy? Question remains to be answered.
Dave, an academic you are not, probably best not to spout off to simco about research and study, just a thought.
