Poll: Majority believes government doing too much
CNN:
This is one of the reasons the Republicans are doing so bad. It isn't true that people are running to the Democratic Party en masse. They're just sick of the GOP not being fiscally conservative. Unfortunately, I don't think that voting for the POG (Party of Government) is going bring better fiscal times.WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A quarter century after the Reagan revolution and a dozen years after Republicans vaulted into control of Congress, a new CNN poll finds most Americans still agree with the bedrock conservative premise that, as the Gipper put it, "government is not the answer to our problems -- government is the problem."
The poll released Friday also showed that an overwhelming majority of Americans perceive, correctly, that the size and cost of government have gone up in the past four years, when Republicans have had a grip on the House of Representatives, the Senate and the White House.
