Six in 10 Americans (60%) believe the federal government has too much
power, one percentage point above the previous high recorded in
September 2010. At least half of Americans since 2005 have said the
government has too much power. Thirty-two percent now say the government
has the right amount of power. Few say it has too little power.
These most recent data come from Gallup's Governance survey, conducted Sept. 5-8. The 7% who feel the government has too little power has been mostly steady since Gallup started tracking the measure regularly in 2002.
Republicans and Democrats Divided on Views of Government
This new high encompasses Republicans (81%), who are now more likely than at any time since 2002 to say the government has too much power, and Democrats (38%), who now are more likely to say this than at any time since President Barack Obama took office in 2009.
