Slim majority

Americans Show Clear Concerns on Bush Agenda by Adam Nagourney and Janet Elder
On Social Security, 45 percent said a proposal to permit people to invest their Social Security withholding money in private accounts was a bad idea; 49 percent said it was a good idea.
The article links to the questionnaire which also asks this:

80% have consistently stated that they don't believe it's the government's responsibility.
