A recent poll by Reuters/Ipsos, interviewing 1,004 people nationwide and conducted online, found that 84% of Americans don't think taxpayers should have to pay for settling banking problems, specifically when caused by management failure.

The majority of participants, both Republicans, and Democrats, voted that taxpayers shouldn't be responsible for bailing out banks, specifically when the reason for their failure was because of bad management.

The poll stretched for two days and found that only 49% of Americans were okay with financial institutions being bailed out by the government. The vote got 40% from Republicans and 55% from Democrats.

When asked about what the participants felt about their own banks, 68% of them said that they had a "fair amount of confidence" in their bank's stability. Most of the respondents, 77%, said they think there should be a return of funds from shareholders and executives who profited from a bank before its failure.
