72% want "Free Markets", Democrats remain on defensive
Republicans dominate voters hearts & minds
Voters swept Republicans into office to dominate the House with many zealots against debt/deficits.
Today, voters remain dominated by thinking the incumbents have failed and 'free markets' should remove regulations.
Republicans are not getting many to register as Republicans even as Republicans win the elections. Voters now are identifying themselves as 'not affiliated' with any established political party. No matter, these independents vote against Democrats giving Republicans victories.
Today's "...72% Favor Free Market Economy Over One Managed by the Government..." means Democrats remain today on the defensive.
Lobbyists must be dancing in the streets as this political atmosphere supports corporations efforts to lower, restrict, remove government oversight.
==============================================
72% Favor Free Market Economy Over One Managed by the Government
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.
Voters also view increased competition rather than increased government regulation as a better way to protect borrowers from unfair lending practices.
