This is according to a Rasmussen poll. Respondents were asked about federal government control of businesses. Would it be good for the economy? Within each age group, more said “no” than “yes”. In the overall group, only 19% said that it would be good and 54% said that it would not be good. The age group with the most unfavorable view of government control of businesses came from those 65 and older.<\/p>\n
From Just the News:<\/span><\/p>\n While 54% said it would be “bad for the economy,” a much smaller number, 19%, thought it would be “good for the economy,” while 16% believed there would be “no impact” and 12% were “not sure.”<\/p>\n A significant split on the matter appeared between Republicans and Democrats, as 74% of Republicans thought additional government control would be bad for the economy compared to just 33% of Democrats who felt the same way. And while just 12% of the Republicans thought it would be good for the economy, 33% of Democrats held that view.<\/p>\n In every age group a larger percentage of people thought more government control would be bad for the economy than thought it would be good, but older people had the highest percentage with an unfavorable view of increased government control. Of those 65 and older, a whopping 77% thought more government control of businesses and individual behavior would be bad for the economy, compared to just 11% who thought it would be good.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Just the News has more on the topic, as well as links to the survey methodology, demographics, and tabulations here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
