From Lisa Gilbert:
I wanted to flag important polling released Friday by Public Policy Polling which shows that 88% of Republicans and 88% of Democrats want the SEC to issue a rule requiring publicly traded corporations to disclose their political spending.
This polling (Republican sample, Democratic sample), bolsters the already broad support behind the political spending disclosure rule that I know you are familiar with. Investors are calling for the rule, a record-breaking 1.2 million public comments have been submitted in support from retail investors and the public, and a recent letter supporting the rulemaking by a bipartisan set of former SEC chairmen solidifies the strong grounds the commission has to move forward.
