New poll results from Rasmussen reveal that nearly two-thirds of voters surveyed are in favor of ending corporate welfare. The pollster defined corporate welfare, also known as “Corporatism”, as “government should not give handouts to businesses.”
Below are additional statistics from the poll.
There is almost no partisan difference on this issue. Sixty-five percent (63%) of Republicans support ending “corporate welfare,” as do 64% of both Democrats and voters not affiliated with either major party.
- 57% of voters also agree that taxes and government spending should be cut 50% or more.
- More Republicans (72%) than Democrats (46%) or unaffiliated voters (54%) favor such a proposal.
The survey of 1,178 U.S. Likely Voters was conducted on January 17, 2024 by Rasmussen Reports and The Woodford Foundation. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
