Americans Don’t Want More Regulation
Democrats routinely claim that American conservatives who oppose burdensome business and industrial regulations are in the minority, which isn’t surprising considering the left’s penchant for attempting to equate anti-regulatory sentiments with a dislike of Mother Nature or basic human safety.
But despite the hyperbole, polling data shows that a firm majority of Americans still believe U.S. businesses are over-regulated.
Numbers from Gallup’s annual Governance survey show that fewer than 22 percent of Americans believe that business and industry are under-regulated. Only 27 percent think that regulations are neither too burdensome nor lacking. That’s compared to a full 49 percent who feel the level of regulation in the U.S. is too high.
“As is the case with most attitudes about government and government use of power, Republicans and Democrats have sharply differing views on government regulation of business,” Gallup reports. “About three-quarters of Republicans (76%) say there is too much regulation, compared with less than one-quarter (22%) of Democrats.”
Gallup reports that the majority-negative opinion on regulation in the U.S. coincides with an overall dim view of the federal government.
