Bookmark and Share

(ROUND ROCK, TEXAS) – More Americans believe Elvis is still alive than believe the Obama "Stimulus" bill has created new jobs, according to polling data from CBS News and the New York Times.

The Obama Administration Recovery Act is one year old today, and unemployment has increased from 7.6 percent on this date last year to 10 percent this year, while the President continues to claim the bill created new jobs and held down unemployment.

A NYT/CBS News poll reported only 6 percent of Americans believe the stimulus has created jobs.

CBS News polled Americans in 2002 on the 25th anniversary of his death, and 7 percent thought Elvis was still alive.
