Poll: Most Americans Want Smaller Government, Fewer Services

|

All hail The Libertarian Moment. From an ABC News/Washington Post poll of a 1,083 American adults taken over January 12-15:

The poll asked: "Generally speaking, would you say you favor smaller government with fewer services, or larger government with more services?"

Fifty-eight percent said they favor a smaller government with fewer services, and only 38 percent said they favor a larger government with more services.

Full poll results here. Question is No. 40, and you have to go back to 2002 for a higher number.
