On the recordApril 21, 1998
In that poll, there are some surprising numbers. First of all, the overall number says that the vast majority of Americans, Republican or Democrat, Independent, you name it, favor this idea. And 68 percent of all Americans, regardless of their party registration or their party leanings or affiliation, favor the adoption of a tax limitation constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds majority rather than a simple majority of this body and of the United States Senate in order to raise taxes yet one more time. You might find it not too surprising that within that number, 75 percent, three out of every four Republicans also favor this idea. But I am very encouraged and find it most significant that when you poll Democrats, it turns out that 63 percent, a very dramatic majority.
