September 24, 2021: Sixty percent (60%) of registered voters believe it is at least somewhat likely that the U.S. government will go bankrupt in the next 10-15 years. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 30% believe bankruptcy is unlikely and 11% are not sure.[1]

The totals include 33% who consider the government going bankrupt to be very likely, and 12% who believe it is not at all likely.

Seventy-eight percent (78%) of Republicans consider the government going bankrupt to be at least somewhat likely. That view is shared by 57% of Independent voters and 53% or Democrats.[1]
