Do Americans want the tax cuts extended for the rich? CNN's answer:

A new Pew Research Center Pew Research/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll indicates the public's divided, with 29 percent saying tax cuts for all Americans should be extended, an equal amount saying tax cuts for the wealthy should be repealed but kept for everyone else, 28 percent saying roll back the cuts for everyone, and 14 percent didn't know.
Ignore the wording and focus on the numbers and what's as plain as the day is that most Americans do not support the extension of the tax cuts for the most wealthiest members of society.

The wording in this post is more honest:

A majority of Americans favor letting the tax cuts enacted during the Bush administration expire for the wealthy. While 37% support keeping the tax cuts for all Americans, 44% want them extended only for those making less than $250,000 and 15% think they should expire for all taxpayers.
Obama should beat the GOP's numbers down with this excellent stick.
