JON HENKE IS CONFUSED by the Washington Post poll:

The public overwhelmingly disapproves of 1) the way Bush is handling Social Security (56% – 35%), and 2) “Bush’s proposals on Social Security” (55% – 37%).

But the public also overwhelmingly supports — by a margin of 56% – 41% — “a plan in which people who chose to could invest some of their Social Security contributions in the stock market”.

Which sounds shockingly like the Bush plan.
