By Jordan Fabian

May 13 — The public remains opposed to raising the nation’s debt ceiling as lawmakers struggle to develop a plan to hike the legal borrowing limit, a new poll released Friday shows.

Forty-seven percent say they don’t want their member of Congress to vote to raise the limit, compared to 19 percent who do. Thirty-four percent say they don’t know enough to say, according to a Gallup poll.
