46% Worry Government Will Do Too Much Trying To Help Economy
Voters have mixed views on the government’s role in solving the current economic problems, but they are certain cutting government spending is a good place to start.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 46% of Likely Voters are now more concerned that the government will do too much in reacting to the nation's economic problems rather than not enough. Forty-two percent (42%) are more worried the government will not do enough. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The national survey of 1,000 Likely Voters nationwide was conducted on April 12-13, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Fieldwork for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
