Survey: 85% Oppose Cutting Mortgage Interest Deduction(December 22, 2005) --
A recent e-mail survey by HouseHunt reveals that a whopping 85 percent of U.S. home owners oppose a proposal by President Bush's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform to have a 15 percent tax credit replace the home mortgage interest deduction.
Only 6 percent of respondents favored the proposal, while the remaining 9 percent were undecided.
The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® has fought hard against the proposal, as has the National Association of Home Builders.
"Our survey represents a random sampling of home owners," says HouseHunt President and CEO Michael Bearden. "While not scientifically designed, we feel that our survey results accurately reflect home-owner sentiment."

Ed.'s Note: My only question is, who are the six percent, and what is their rationale?
