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.
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.
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.
72% Favor Free Market Economy Over One Managed by the Government - Rasmussen Reports
These are NOT good numbers for Obama's reelect chances. They say that only 34% of VOTERS think Obama's way is the best way.
Now here is the key to knowing whether to take seriously ANY poll.
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on July 6-7, 2011 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.
LIKELY VOTERS! Many of the polls you see liberals push, like that bull George Communist pushes, that most people want to see taxes go up, poll "adults." Which means illegals, etc etc etc. Just about anyone they can poll to skew it to their results.
Any poll worth looking at will poll LIKELY VOTERS and even then it's weak at best.
Which means the numbers for Obama could be a LOT WORSE than this poll suggests.
What this means is VOTERS HAVE WOKEN UP FROM THE DELUSION THAT IS OBAMA AND LIBERALISM.
They have seen liberalism for themselves and they know it's a disaster. That means they are going to say so with VOTES come November 2012.
2012 is coming!
