A group supporting the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of fewer limits on corporate political spending says recent negative polling overestimates public opposition.

The Center for Competitive Politics released a statement Wednesday listing criticisms of three recent polls that indicated broad public opposition to the ruling. This includes the poll released earlier today by the Washington Post and ABC News which said "eight in 10 poll respondents say they oppose the high court's Jan. 21 decision to allow unfettered corporate political spending." Another survey was sponsored by Change Congress, Common Cause, and Public Campaign Action Fund and the third comes from the firm Argus Reid.

"Two of the three polls on the Citizens United decision contained questions arguably biased against the Court's ruling (the third poll did not even release the questions asked)," said CCP.

Jeff Patch, communications director for the First Amendment advocacy group, said "Polling is an art form and the responses are so dependent on how the questions are phrased."
