Polling Memo: Voters Choose GOP
Quinnipiac: Voters Trust GOP with Cutting Government Spending
Heading into tonight’s State of the Union address, with eighty-three percent of voters insisting government has a spending problem, President Obama clearly has some ground to make up when it comes to cutting government spending.1
And, not only do voters see it as a matter of priority, but it’s a matter of trust as new data from Quinnipiac shows, by a 9 pt margin, voters trust Republicans in Congress over Obama to do a better job “cutting federal spending.”
