Economic Fairness
Friday, April 05, 2013
Most voters still believe policies that encourage economic growth are more important than those promoting economic fairness, but they’re slightly less convinced that there is a conflict between the two.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 71% of Likely U.S. Voters consider policies that encourage economic growth to be Very Important. That compares to 49% who say the same of policies that promote economic fairness. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on April 1-2, 2013 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
