Only 17% of Republican primary voters wanted to cut spending on health research. Only 20% wanted to cut Social Security or Medicare. In fact, only 32% wanted to cut Medicaid and only 36% wanted to cut aid to the poor. Majorities of GOP primary voters were willing to cut only four things: unemployment benefits, spending on housing, spending on the environment, and foreign aid.Honestly, only 25% of respondents wanted to cut agricultural spending? That's pretty amazing considering about 1% of citizens are farmers, and they've had a tremendous previous four years.
Just a bit of skepticism here, but I'm guessing a YouGov poll might not be the most reliable for sampling anti-government attitudes. There may be a bit of positive bias just built into the name.
