Voters remain closely divided over the government’s role in responding to the troubled economy, but cutting spending remains a favored option for most.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 44% of Likely U.S. Voters are worried the federal government will do too much in reacting to the nation’s economic situation rather than not enough. Forty-eight percent (48%) are more worried the government will not do enough. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
