Gallup: 57 Percent of Americans Say Gov't Is Trying to Do Too Many Things

From a new Gallup survey:

Americans are more likely today than in the recent past to believe that government is taking on too much responsibility for solving the nation's problems and is over-regulating business. New Gallup data show that 57% of Americans say the government is trying to do too many things that should be left to businesses and individuals, and 45% say there is too much government regulation of business. Both reflect the highest such readings in more than a decade.

And there's this: "27% say the amount of regulation is about right and 24% say there is too little regulation."
