65% Think Government Should Cut Spending to Help Economy
Sunday, June 23, 2013
Concern that the government will do too much to help the economy is at its highest level since last fall.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 43% of Likely U.S. Voters are more worried that the federal government will do too much rather than not enough in reacting to the nation’s economic problems. That's up from 39% in Marchand the highest level of concern since September. Slightly more(48%) still fear that the government won’t do enough to help the economy.

The national survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on June 18-19, 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.
