Some people think the government is trying to do too many things that should be left to individuals and businesses. Others think that government should do more to solve our country's problems. Which comes closer to your own view?Currently 57% of those polled agree with the first statement: "government is trying to do too many things that should be left to individuals and businesses."
Only 38% want the government more involved.
Go here to see the Gallup chart which shows that, with the exception of a brief period in 2001, there have always been more Americans agreeing with the first statement than with the second. Commentators describe the U.S. as a basically conservative, pro-capitalist nation; this chart explains why.
