A new poll from NBC News/WSJ finds that Americans are willing to accept higher tax rates and entitlement cuts, as long as it means Congress will strike a deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff."
Sixty-seven percent of those surveyed said they'd accept "cuts to an important federal government program you care about or an increase in federal taxes" in order for an agreement to be reached.
A larger number, 76 percent, said they would accept higher taxes as part of the deal. That includes 61 percent of Republicans who said they would accept tax increases to avoid the "fiscal cliff" cuts.
