Rasmussen Poll: 62% Favor Tax Cuts Over Government Spending

August 30th, 2009 · No Comments

According to a Rasmussen national survey,

  • Sixty-two percent (62%) of Americans say it’s always better to cut taxes than increase government spending because taxpayers, not bureaucrats, are the best judges of how to spend their own money.
  • Americans by a two-to-one margin – 50% to 25% – believe that a dollar of tax cuts is always better than a dollar of public spending and 25% are unsure.
  • Similarly, just 25% say public spending provides much more bang for the buck than tax cuts when it comes to economic policy and creating jobs.
  • Fifty percent (50%) disagree that public spending is better for the economy than tax cuts and 26% are undecided.
