Few Americans Want More Gov't Regulation of Business [Gallup Poll: Republicans Ignoring the Issue]]

Gallup ^ | 9/15/14 | Frank Newport

[SoFloFreeper]

About half say there is too much regulation; 22% say there is too little

.....From 2003 through the remainder of the George W. Bush administration, however, these attitudes settled into a pattern in which Americans were more likely to say there was too much rather than too little government regulation of business. After Barack Obama took office in 2009, the percentage saying "too much" regulation rose into the high 40s, including a reading of 50% in 2011, and has remained at these relatively high levels since.

Less than a quarter of Americans have perceived in the last two years that there is too little government regulation of business and industry, while slightly more have said regulation is about right.

Way too much.

Republicans, you have another issue to hit Obama and his minions with...will you do it?

[Diogenesis]

The GOP supports ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE.

The GOP supports protecting Obola who has less
documentation than Ebola or any random cattle.

Some candidates are smacking their democrat opponents with their support of overregulation.

[GeronL]

They won’t

[Paine in the Neck]

Crony capitalists like regulation. It sets up barriers to entry against new competition. It also generally advantages the bigger company over the smaller.

[rockinqsranch]

Way too much regulation by the Fed. The Fed has to be restored to Constitutional boundaries.

Not to mention EVERY OTHER issue.

Our 2014 campaign strategy:
