A new poll reveals a strong majority of Americans oppose the idea of a second stimulus – and many voters say they would throw their own lawmakers out of office if they dared support another stimulus package.

A Zogby/O'Leary Poll conducted Jue 10 to June 13 asked 4,420 voters, "Some members of Congress have said we need to jumpstart the economy with a second stimulus package. Do you favor or oppose Congress passing a second stimulus package?"

A full 63.2 percent of Americans said they would oppose a second stimulus while 46.6 percent said they would "strongly oppose" the idea. Only 29 percent favor a second stimulus round.

Likewise, a full 54 percent of voters aged 18 to 29 and 74.3 percent of independent voters oppose the idea.

Even a significant number of people who voted for Obama say they object to a second stimulus (38.2 percent).

The same poll also asked, "Would you vote for or against your congressman in the next election if they are in favor of a second stimulus package, or does it make no difference in your vote?"

Among all American voters, 44.7 percent said they would vote against their congressman if he or she supported a second stimulus package. A full 52.4 percent of independents agreed.

According to the poll, lawmakers who support a second stimulus bill would also lose the vote of 56 percent of small business owners, and gain support of only 14.7 percent.

Only 10 days before Obama took office, his top economic advisers predicted unemployment would stay below 8 percent through the year if the first stimulus won Congress' approval. But now, the unemployment rate is set to break into double-digit territory. Nonetheless, Obama has said his $787 billion stimulus bill "has worked as intended."

Laura D'Andrea Tyson, economic adviser to the White House, made headlines July 7 when she promoted plans for a second stimulus.

"We should be planning on a contingency basis for a second round of stimulus," she said, according to a Reuters report.

Tyson said she believes the first $787 billion package did not go far enough and that a second one should focus primarily on infrastructure.

But Robert Nabors, deputy director of the White House Office of Management and Budget,called Tyson an "outside economic adviser" whose opinions do not reflect the White House position, Fox News reported.

"No one is talking about a second stimulus at this point," he said.

However, ABC News reported that more than a dozen top labor leaders met with Obama at the White House Monday to push for a second stimulus package.

The National Labor Coordinating Committee said in a statement, "Since the onset of the recession, this country has lost an astounding 6.5 million jobs and $14 trillion in wealth. We support the president's recovery and reinvestment program, and we believe it should be substantially reinforced with more stimulus, creating millions of good jobs that cannot be outsourced."

With unemployment nearing 10 percent, many Americans say they will help lawmakers join the ranks of the jobless if another spending package passes.

"These poll results provide the perfect blueprint for any congressman seeking early retirement," said O'Leary Report publisher Brad O'Leary. "The results also indicate that Americans have not forgotten the original stimulus bill and are still very unhappy with it. Were they happy with the first stimulus, they would not be so vehemently opposed to the mere notion of a second stimulus."
