Poll: Raise taxes, retirement age, not cut Social Security benefits



Fifty-three percent in the Associated Press-GfK poll prefer increased taxes and a higher retirement age to cutting Social Security benefits.

Social Security trustees say the massive retirement and disability program will run out of money by 2033 unless changes are made.

Forty-seven percent said they trust President Obama to do a better job on Social Security; 44% prefer presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Taking margin of error into account, that’s a tie.

GfK is a Roper poll.
