Gallup: 72% say 'big government' largest threat to America's future
Gallup has been doing this poll since 1965.
72% now say big government is the greatest threat to America's future, by far the largest number ever recorded in the nearly 50 years of the poll.
Even 56% of Democrats now say big government is our biggest threat.
When Obama took office, the % of people who chose 'big government' as our greatest threat was around 53%.
Looks like Americans don't like big government liberalism these days...
Thanks Obama!

And American democrats aren't for big government. They're for limited economic regulation, but to be honest that's a hell of a lot more preferable than social regulation.

Still trying to bait, huh?

The term "big government" is so vague that this poll is essentially meaningless. It can mean so many different things to every person.

Big Government is the one thing we should actively try to avoid. There's another poll out there that shows 70% of Americans don't want all these suggested bans on various things like trans fats, certain caffeinated beverages, etc..

Looks like people are finally waking up. Don't count on it though, as long as they get handouts from the government (taxpayers) they won't change their tune.

Huh. that's interesting. And good.
