59%of U.S. voters agreed with Ronald Reagan that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” ... Only 28% disagree, and 14% are not sure.
Middle class people are with us:
Middle-income voters are more likely to agree with Reagan than those who earn less than $20,000 or more than $100,000.
When looking for help from non-libertarians, we're much more likely to get support from conservatives than liberals, who basically love big government:
Political liberals strongly reject Reagan’s view by a 60% to 28% margin. Forty-seven percent (47%) of moderates agree, while 32% do not. Conservatives are overwhelmingly supportive.
Also interesting:
Although the Republican Party in Washington veered away from Reagan’s approach in the years since the 40th president left office, 83% of Republican voters around the country still agree with him. So do 40% of Democrats and 60% of those not affiliated with either major party.
