September 5, 2022: Seventy percent (70%) of voters agree with the statement “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.” A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that majorities of both Republicans (86%) and Democrats (54%) agree with the statement. Just 24% of voters disagree.
Methodology
The survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on August 23-25, 2022. Fieldwork for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population.
The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 2.8 percentage points.
Note: Neither Scott Rasmussen, ScottRasmussen.com, nor RMG Research, Inc. have any affiliation with Rasmussen Reports. While Scott Rasmussen founded that firm, he left nearly a decade ago and has had no involvement since that time.
