Americans to government: "Less is better"

Americans are tired of overreaching government and the latest poll provided by Donald Douglas at American Power bears that out. Dig into the poll and you will find that Democrats are in trouble.

Dr. Douglas writes:

On page 14 of the survey, 56 percent indicate they'd like to have a "smaller government providing fewer services," and below that we find a huge majority of almost 6 in 10 saying "government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals."

It's clear from this poll and others that Americans are tired of business-as-usual. Donald continues in his post:

But come November, it's the party in power that'll be punished, and it's clear from this poll and others that the GOP is looking well positioned to make substantial gains in the Congress. It's definitely going to be an earthquake election on the scale of 1994.

The administration has every reason to worry about its prospects. If it can't get more favorable approval on economic conditions and confidence in economic management, the Dems will face a monstrously disastrous blowout come November.

We are nine months out from November. The tea party movement and other conservative groups continue to rally and grow. That earthquake may indeed be on the horizon.
