POLL: Should Mitt Romney apologize for his fundraiser remarks?

A video surfaced Monday that caught Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney saying that nearly half of Americans are dependent on the government and don't pay taxes. Many Republicans and Democrats alike have found the comments offensive. Romney responded by saying his comments were "not elegantly stated." Should Romney apologize for his fundraiser remarks?

  • Yes. If Mitt Romney has any shot of winning this election, he simply has to apologize because he's alienated nearly half of Americans with those comments..
  • Yes. Mitt Romney's comments were offensive so he needs to tell the American public sorry.
  • No. I believe Mitt Romney spoke the truth and you should never apologize for the truth.
  • No. Mitt Romney doesn't need to say anything else because he's already said enough.
  • I honestly don't know what Mitt Romney should do.
