Two-thirds of Americans polled by the ABA support federal funding to help those who need legal assistance.
An ABA press release says the poll (PDF) found support for funding for the Legal Services Corp., with 88 percent of respondents strongly or somewhat supporting the idea that a nonprofit legal services provider is essential to help those who can’t afford to pay for lawyers. More than two-thirds said it's extremely or very important that Americans have access to legal resources and advice when they are in crisis.
More than 1,000 people were surveyed in early April by Harris Interactive for the ABA poll.
