What are we going to do about Fannie and Freddie?
A new poll finds that most Americans favor phasing out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two mortgage lending giants that were taken over the U.S. government during the financial crisis.
The survey of 1,200 likely voters was conducted by On Message Inc. for the American Action Forum, the conservative organization headed by Republican economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin. The poll included responses from conservative districts, Democratic-leaning districts and swing districts.
The poll found that 52 percent of voters favor phasing out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, vs. 32 percent who oppose this step.
