Over seventy percent trust government to do the right thing most of the time. (What planet are they living on?)
Over three quarters want to restrict your right to eat meat and use electricity.
Nearly three-quarters want to abolish your right to have a gasoline-powered car.
Nearly 70% would deprive you of your right to choose a gas stove.
More than two-thirds favor letting teachers (who usually are government employees) dictate to parents what children should be taught.
Decisive majorities would take away our SUVs, air conditioning, and any air travel they deem “non-essential.”
Nearly a third of these people are focused on politics—and the views of that third are even more alarming. For example, 69 percent of them said they would rather cheat on an election than lose one! (The comparable figure among all citizens is only 7 percent.)
We've sensed this for years... but it's even worse than we thought...
“69 percent of them said they would rather cheat on an election than lose one!”

That one’s the kicker. When you go down that road, you no longer have a free society where “We the People” rule. That stat is very alarming.
But are these folks truly trying to take our air conditioning away? Would they deprive someone of A/C who lives in the sweltering summer heat of Georgia? I don’t think so.
So the survey questions they asked are not specific enough, so the findings are of limited value — except for Rasmussen’s publicity. But I now I question Rasmussen’s judgement.
The only guy I really trust in the polling business is the People’s Pundit.
