March 25, 2005 | WASHINGTON (AP) -- Support for President Bush's plan to create personal Social Security retirement accounts which might include stocks or mutual funds has dropped over the last month among Americans under age 30, according to a poll released Thursday.

Young adults have been the strongest supporters of the proposal for months. Support among those 18-29 dipped from seven in 10 to just under half, according to the poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. A quarter of young adults now say they're not sure how they feel about such personal accounts.

The poll found that just over four in 10, 44 percent, of all those polled, support creation of the accounts, down from 54 percent in December, while 40 percent are opposed.

The amount of support for the plan differs widely depending on how the question is worded.

Time to start prepping the Bush SS scam's funeral.

3. It seems that the more details of the plan people learn, the less they
like the plan. Strange, huh? Guess that is why Bush and Co did not want to inform the public too much.

4. Glad to hear this. They have the most to lose, actually,
under Bushie's "non-plan". It's their future. They better fight like hell to save it!
