• 49% say government poses immediate threat to rights, freedoms
• Republicans much more likely to see government as threat
• Americans give very diverse explanations for these views

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Almost half of Americans, 49%, say the federal government poses "an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens," similar to what was found in previous surveys conducted over the last five years. When this question was first asked in 2003, less than a third of Americans held this attitude.

The latest results are from Gallup's Sept. 9-13 Governance poll. The lower percentage of Americans agreeing in 2003 that the federal government posed an immediate threat likely reflected the more positive attitudes about government evident after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The percentage gradually increased to 44% by 2006, and then reached the 46% to 49% range in four surveys conducted since 2010.

The remarkable finding about these attitudes is how much they reflect apparent antipathy toward the party controlling the White House, rather than being a purely fundamental or fixed philosophical attitude about government

This "The remarkable finding about these attitudes is how much they reflect apparent antipathy toward the party controlling the White House" is an assertion. In fact, the finding reflect the country's antipathy toward the Party controlling Congress.

Defend him from what? The country is 1,000 times better than it was when Gomer left office. The country is safer, our troops aren`t getting blown up for nothing and the DOW would need to lose nearly 10,000 points today to be where it was when the village idiot left office. My 401K has nearly doubled in value. How about yours?

Well in truth, 9-11 came as a direct consequence of Leftist government, where it set policy that precluded the means of the government to do its job, which is to defend the nation from attack.

Which every American knew was the case and such is why we so vehemently contested the Clinton Cult's chronic lowering of every conceivable standard, in regard to protection of the nation from attack by outside forces, as well as the internal force represented largely BY the Clinton Cult and the Ideological Left in general.

So, in truth, what the poll represents is the certainty known by Americans, that Leftist government is always a threat to Americans, with no close second, as every other threat comes directly THROUGH Leftist government and absent such, it simply could not to get to us.

Another recent poll showed a huge percentage were in favor of an armed takeover of the govt. I remember another from some time back where RWs said they believed journalism should be government controlled.

There's no doubt that many RWs are just too stupid to understand how much better off the country is and has been with Obama's presidency. The right also refuses to blame W and Cheney for their atrocities and their rape of of the US and other countries. They want to hate Obama and that's all that matters to them.

In truth, 9-11 came as a result of Condi Rice not reading the PDB to the moron occupying the Whitehouse courtesy of the the Supreme Court. The August 6, 2001 PDB warned that Bin Laden was determined to strike in the U.S. The fault of "leftist govt?". That`s stupid but I would expect nothing else from you or most of the people who post here.

Fun to watch the far righties jump like water droplets in a hot skillet.

The fact is that people are afraid of a government that won't listen to them, and both parties the last 15 years have proved the fear is well based.
