A majority of Americans oppose a bailout of the troubled US auto industry, according to a poll released Wednesday. The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll, conducted by telephone on Dec. 1-2 with nearly 1,100 people, showed that 61% of those surveyed oppose government assistance for the major U.S. automakers.
