55% Think Government Doesn't Protect U.S. Industries Enough from Overseas Competitors
Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Most Americans blame the country's bad economy on government policies at home rather than on overseas competitors, but they'd like to see the U.S. government protect domestic companies more. The latest Rasmussen Reports national survey finds that 59% of American Adults think the economic policies of the U.S. government are a bigger factor in creating the current problems with the economy than unfair business practices by countries like China and the ongoing economic problems in Europe. Only 12% blame unfair business practices by overseas competitors more, while just as many (11%) see the debt crisis and other problems in Europe as chiefly at fault. Eighteen percent (18%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here . )
