Rasmussen Reports: %59 Still Agree With Reagan That "Government Is The Problem"

Ronald Reagan famously declared in his first inaugaral address that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”
According to Rasmussen Reports, a new "national telephone survey finds that 59% of voters agree with Reagan, and just 28% disagree. Support is found across a wide range of political and demographic groups. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of men agree with Reagan, as do 52% of women. A majority of voters in all age and income groups agree. The only demographic group to disagree with Reagan’s statement are those who identify themselves as politically liberal. Just 35% of liberals agree that government is the problem, but 46% disagree. Moderates embrace the Reagan view by a 61% to 25% margin, and conservatives are even more enthusiastic."

This is still a solidly conservative country. John McCain needs to tap into that, and we need to make sure that our country is not taken down the path of extreme liberalism that Barack Obama represents on both foreign and domestic affairs.
