Business Insider: Public Policy Polling tested people's reaction to the Simpson-Bowles plan to reduce the national deficit.

Despite the fact that there is no such thing as the "Panetta-Burns" plan, 25 percent of respondents offered an opinion on it.

Of course, you gotta like the response to another PPP question:
49 percent of Republicans now say that the disbanded community organizing group ACORN stole the 2012 presidential election for President Barack Obama, according to a survey by Public Policy Polling (PPP) released Tuesday.
