This is a new ap - the GFK the nation's largest federal plan to the attitude of the public vote.
Social security is facing serious long-term fiscal problems. When choosing how to solve these problems, 53% of adults said they will be subject to vote, not cuts in welfare to increase taxes, for future generations. Only 36% of respondents said they will cut benefits, not.
The result is similar, when people ask whether they can raise the retirement age, or reduce the monthly payment offspring - 53% of the respondents said they will raise the retirement age, while 35% of respondents said they will cut pays by the month.
A 77 - year - old Yang said: "maggie," now, it seems we taxation so much, but if this will be the only way out, I think I have to save it, from the city of Toledo, Ohio, the widow. "This is very important, for me, this is my income."
Social security is suffering from millions of retiring baby boomers born a wave of his hand, leave relatively few workers pay system. The trustee supervision of retired and disability plan said, in 2033, the social security trust fund run out of money. At this point, social security will only collect enough tax revenues to pay for 75% of benefits, unless congress behavior.
The two party congress that congress will be discussed in the next year or two years of social security - if the White House took the lead in have a very good chance. However, so far, social security, and has played a great role in the presidential election.
In a previous survey, Democrats than republicans have been made better handle the social security. But the AP - GfK poll, americans are close candidate for President, they believe that the problem of processing.
47% said they believed President Obama do a better social security, 44% of respondents said they believe that his republican opponent Romney (Mitt Romney). The difference is in the investigation of the sampling error.
Charles McSwain, 69, Philadelphia, says he believes President Obama, because he thought that is easier to adhere to the middle class.
"He at least trying to help people, is super rich, give a person the appearance and the romney no, said:" who work McSwain, part-time sales of real estate.
But Jeff's victory, the United States Nashville, Tennessee, worry, Obama did not cut benefits, to help in the program play stomach.
"The President of the United States have shown that he will give any free everyone he may, so I'm going to Mr Romney, a said:" victory, a 26-year-old electrician.
Romney said, he was in favor of gradually raising the retirement age, but he opposed to increase taxes to support social security. In order to future generations, Mr Romney will slow down the benefits of growth, "for those high income."
Barack Obama has made a detailed plan to solve the social security. But in the 2008 election campaign, he applied for social security payroll tax pay more than $250000. Now is limited, less than 110100 us dollars, wage level, increase and inflation.
Obama said, any social security reform should do "don't risk the most vulnerable disabled, current retirees, no cuts in welfare offspring, and not under the American retirement income security stock impulse."
Mr Romney's running mate, Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, always let workers transferred to individual part of the investment account, their social security tax, which is a main backer of the congress. Mr Romney is still not fully accepted this idea, but the Democrats use it to accuse the republicans tried to social security privatization.

About 560000 people for social security benefits. The average monthly payments of $1236 from retiree.
Social security fall into two categories of fixed options - to increase taxes or cuts in welfare, or some combination of both. But there are also many options, in each category. For example, raising the retirement age is a cut for the interests of future generations, because they will have to wait for a long time to eligible for full benefits.
Retiree can now be eligible for all the advantages, in the 66 - year - old threshold value is born after in 1960 or the people rose to 67.
In a previous survey, most of the options to solve the social security problems made bad public, which helps to explain why congress did not accept them. But the AP - GfK vote forced people to make a choice: to increase taxes or cuts in welfare? Raising the retirement age, or cut monthly pay?
Democrats, republicans and independent people approve of raising the retirement age, cut pays by the month. Tax increases, but there is a big gap. Sixty-five percent of the Democrats, and 53% of the independent support higher taxes, compared to only 38% of republicans.
"Plus tax, especially in people, provide us with the employment opportunity, is a kind of choice, because what are you doing there, you dissuade promote employment," said James Taylor, a 68 - year - old retiree, from gold miss
But Juan TeLieSi, in a Florida gainesville, a 22-year-old college students say that he will accept a higher tax, if this means that the advantages of maintenance, even if he is not so believe, social security will focus on his generation.
"I think, social security as a kind of investment, the investment of about, something more public", TeLieSi said. "I think I would want to invest.
About three-quarters of people think that social security is an important question, whether people will be able to in their retirement life depends on it, although has not yet reached agreement. Only 30% of respondents said, it is very possible or likely, they will be able to rely on social security.
