A vast majority of voters in key Senate battleground states favor candidates who present explicit plans to reform Social Security over those who pledge to leave the program untouched, according to research conducted by the Peterson Foundation.
The nationwide survey of 2,500 registered voters, conducted between August 20 and August 27, found that more than 80 percent of respondents preferred a representative with a strategy to prevent automatic benefit reductions. In contrast, 17 percent favored candidates promising not to touch the system.
