62% of Voters Prefer Fewer Govt. Services with Lower Taxes

[red states rule]

I wonder what Obama and Hillary have to say about this poll?

Will Reid and Pelosi listen, and cut taxes and reduce spending?


America's Best Days
62% of Voters Prefer Fewer Government Services with Lower Taxes

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 62% of voters would prefer fewer government services with lower taxes. Nearly a third (29%) disagrees and would rather have a bigger government with higher taxes. Ten percent (10%) are not sure.

Those numbers have changed little over the past month.

Republican voters overwhelmingly prefer fewer government services—83% of the GOP faithful hold that view while just 13% prefer more government involvement. Democratic voters are evenly divided on this question: 46% prefer more government services, while 43% prefer less government services.

Not surprisingly, conservative voters like less government while liberal voters favor a bigger government. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of politically moderate voters prefer smaller government. A separate survey found that most adults (56%) are worried that the next president will raise taxes too much.

So much for the lefts claim voters want higher taxes and more government programs

This poll pretty much blows Obama's as out of the water

WHere are all the left wingers? Is anyone on the left going to try and dismiss and downplay this poll?

And getting back to this is the only way republicans will ever regain their control in Washington.

If they have an IQ above room temp this poll should encourage them to do so at once

The problem is they don't have an IQ above room temperature and they believe what the media is telling them. It's because they're so disconnected from the people they're supposed to represent they don't have a clue.

Yep, we're screwed in November. Either we vote for the socialist or for the wannabe socialist.

The only possible thing McCain could do is pick someone like Michael Steele as his running mate

But I am not holding my breath

Want small government? Vote Libertarian!!

[red states rule]

Where are all the tax and spend liberals? I thought they would be jumping all over this ranting how thiose damn bitter voters do not understand govenment knows what is best for them, and it will take more in taxes to finance liberal compassion

Yes, I am voting for him. I think he has 'seen the light' on small-government issues. Heck, he's been on the LNC for the last two years. I would rather Root had won the nomination, but I'll still happily vote for Barr.

[PostmodernProphet]

Yes, Barr is the candidate.

I loved him on Cheers.....
