According to a Rasmussen Reports survey published this week, the majority of potential voters are worried about the national debt.
According to the study, three-quarters, or 76 percent, are concerned about the amount of the U.S. national debt, which stands at more than $31.4 trillion. According to the United States national debt clock, this translates to more than $94,000 every American citizen and more than $246,000 each American taxpayer.
Of the 76 percent who are worried, 53 percent are “very worried.”
The study comes after Congress passed the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that was backed by Democrats in Dec., which President Joe Biden signed. The 4,155-page bill includes a slew of wasteful provisions, including $575 million for “reproductive health” in areas where population growth “threatened biodiversity,” $45 billion for Ukraine, $11 million for LGBT-projects, several earmarks that total $60 million for RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski, $1.5 million for the “COVID American History Project,” and much more.
According to the Rasmussen Reports poll, half of those that were polled disapprove of the $1.7 trillion spending measure, while 45 percent support it. Furthermore, 61 percent agree with former Pres. Donald Trump’s assessment of the plan, calling it “ludicrous” and “wrong.”
According to the results of the poll:
“Majorities in every political group are concerned about the amount of the US national debt, including 87% of Republicans, 67% of Dems, and 73% of people who are not connected with either major party. However, 69% of Republicans and 53% of unaffiliated voters are extremely concerned about the rising debt and only 38% of Dems are extremely concerned.
While a large majority of Democrats (73%) approve of the $1.7 trillion spending measure enacted by Congress last month, only 21% of conservatives and 40% of unaffiliated voters do. Fifty-eight percent of Republicans, 40% of unaffiliated voters, and 14% of Dems strongly oppose the funding measure.
Eighty percent of Conservatives and 59% of unaffiliated voters agree that the $1.7 billion spending measure is a “monstrosity” and a “national tragedy,” as do 46% of Democrats.”
