Via RCP:
A new national poll from Quinnipiac University shows that a majority Democrats believe the federal government should bail out Detroit, but an even larger majority of Americans oppose such a move. Fifty-one percent of Democrats support Washington providing federal assistance to Detroit, which last month became the largest American city ever to seek bankruptcy protection.
Not surprisingly, there is a strong partisan divide on the question of a federal bailout for the Motor City. Seventy-three percent of Republicans oppose a bailout, while only 18 percent support the idea. Independents are nearly of the same mind as Republicans on the issue: 68 percent oppose federal assistance for Detroit and 28 percent support it.
The so-called Democrats are not looking at this politically. They're looking at this from a moral perspective. If they had half a brain, they would realize that a bailout would solidify into Obama's legacy that his stimulation spending is a complete and utter failure. Solyndra is one example. GM didn't work - it is now owned by the Europeans. Nothing came out of it. By bailing out Detroit, it would tell the world that the GM bailout did not work. I'm pretty confident that this administration will not bail out this city. Unless of course they can set the lamestream media dogs and somehow pin the blame on the Republicans.
