 | Bad Poll for Socialist..err...Democrats: 72% favor Free Market Economy over Government Run EconomyScotty Starnes | July 8, 2011 at 2:07 PM | Tags: Democrats, economy, free market, free market economy, government controlled economy, socialism | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-5yC |
Obama and his gang of progressive-socialist Democrats hardest hit by this poll.
Voters remain strongly supportive of a free market economy over one controlled by the government and still think small businesses are hurt more than big businesses when the government does get involved.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 72% of Likely U.S. Voters believe a free market economy is better than an economy managed by the government. Just 14% think a government-managed economy is better. Another 14% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here).
Republicans and unaffiliated voters overwhelmingly prefer a free market approach. Among these segments of the electorate, the number preferring a government-managed economy is in the single digits.
Among Democrats, 48% say a free market is better, but 29% think a government-managed economy is the answer. Twenty-three percent (23%) are not sure.
As usual, Democrats are on the opposite side of Americans.
Seventy-five percent (75%) of those who work for a private company give the nod to a free market economy, compared to 53% of government employees.
Government employees are leeches who depend upon those working in the free market to pay their salaries.
The majority (56%) of all voters think increased competition rather than increased government regulation is the best way to hold big business accountable. But 34% see increased regulation as the better course.
