Majority oppose bailout

Republicans almost accidentally find themselves on the winning side of a big issue:

Most Americans continue to oppose a government-backed rescue plan for Detroit's Big Three automakers as majorities blame the industry for its own problems and are unconvinced failure would hurt the economy, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Overall, 55 percent of those polled oppose the latest plan that Chrysler, Ford and General Motors executives pitched to Congress last week.

The "irresponsible" majority, as Dana Perino might say.
