Nearly two-out-of-three Americans believe the government has too much
power in this country and that too many of their fellow countrymen are
dependent on the government for financial support.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 62% of
American Adults believe there is too much government power and too
little individual freedom in the United States today. Just 10% think the
opposite, that there is too much individual freedom and too little
government power. Sixteen percent (16%) think the balance is about
right, while 12% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
