The House Ways and Means Committee is planning on taking up Social Security reform legislation when Congress returns to Washington, DC in September. This legislation is likely to include aspects of President Bush's privitization plan and groups working in opposition to those plans recently released new polling information compiled from the districts of nine Republican members of the Ways and Means commmittee.

The polling data was released on August 4 by USAction Education Fund, one of the leading groups in the fight against Social Security privitization. The data show nearly 70 percent of responding registered voters in those nine districts oppose the president's plans for Social Security and 68 percent of respondents would be less likely to vote for a candidate who supports the plans.

Full poll results can be found on the USAction Education Fund website
