Poll: 63 Percent Disagree With Citizens United Ruling

Poll: 63 Percent Disagree With Citizens United Ruling

Nearly two-thirds of Americans are opposed to the consequences of the landmark 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, a new poll released Tuesday shows.

The poll, conducted by the PERT Group on behalf of the First Amendment Center, shows that 63 percent disagree with the notion that corporations and unions should be allowed to engage in unlimited campaign spending.

supporting Citizen's United out of a complete disconnect between cause and effect.

It's time to at least bring back McCain-Feingold and strengthen it and then get Scalia, Roberts, Alito, and Thomas the hell out of there.
