64% Think Spending Cuts Best for Economy
Voters remain closely divided over how involved the government should get in the economy, but they continue to believe strongly that cutting spending is the best economic course to follow.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 43% of Likely U.S. Voters are more worried that the government will do too much in reacting to current economic problems. Slightly more (47%) worry that the government won’t do enough. Eleven percent (11%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
