The two numbers are not the same.
One poll asks a very specific question about a tax increase only on people earning over 1 million. There's dramatic support for this.
The other asks a very vague question about support for a "tax hike" which could imply raising taxes for everyone.
The Rasmussen poll doesn't invalidate the NBC/WSJ poll. Rather it provides another perspective at a different point in time.
I do think Obama is correct in asserting that the American people don't support the ideological position that *any* tax increase on anyone is off the table.
