70% of American People Don't Think like Obama
Great new Rasmussen poll out. From the Associated Content site:
Rasmussen conducted a poll asking Americans on whether they would prefer a:
a) Government that would provide fewer services, imposing lower taxes OR
b) Government that provides more services, imposing higher taxes
The results of the poll revealed that 70% of likely voters favor a Government that offers fewer services, imposing lower taxes. 88% of registered republicans polled shared this view. 78% of Independents shared this view. And surprisingly 48% of Democrats shared this view.
I just wish these people would have voted with this in mind. Yes, I know that McCain could have done a better job revealing Obama's big government tendencies. But remember this little poll? John Ziegler revealed that many Americans who voted for Obama thought the Republicans were in control of the House. So they didn't even realize that putting Obama in the Whitehouse would be a vote for one-party control, not gridlock.
It's all a shame, but we'll keep fighting.
I think that 70% number would probably be quite a bit lower if they asked people to be specific about which "services" they would give up.
ReplyDeleteThey like the idea in abstract, but very few folks really want small government if it means goring their own ox.
