At a time when President Joe Biden is negotiating with Congress over the debt ceiling, most voters don’t think the government is using tax dollars wisely, and would prefer a smaller government.
That’s according to the latest Rasmussen Reports.
The survey found that just 25% of likely U.S. voters believe the government spends taxpayers’ money wisely and carefully, while 62% don’t think so.
Another 14% are not sure.
In 2019, 77% didn’t believe the government spent taxpayers’ money wisely and carefully.
Fifty-two percent (52%) favor a smaller government with fewer services and lower taxes over a more active one with more services and higher taxes.
Thirty-seven percent (37%) prefer a bigger, more expensive, more active government.
Eleven percent (11%) are undecided.
Support for smaller government has ranged from 52% to 70% in regular surveying since 2006.
