    Hmmm... not much of a surprise here, but one must wonder, what would the outcome of several national polls be if specific issues, like health care, were the topic? Still, I think most Americans are on the right economically (I think most people in general in the west are, actually) and a little libertarian in ideology. Small government in general, in other words.

    How will this effect the election, I wonder?

      One poll that seems slightly at odds with this, is this one:

      http://www.gallup.com/poll/106813/Many-American...

      Of course, the options listed in the poll don't seem to include a "both" option, a redistribution (though perhaps not done by the government but done by market forces or other things) as well as an economic boom.

        This is a partisan owned and operated poll, the same one and only one which magaged to massage the data to show McCain leading or tied with Obama in a national survey. (False information, as shown by every other objective poll.)

        Its how you ask the questions, and who you call.

        I smell republican partisanship, ownership and data massaging in this gallup organization.

        If you phrase the question, do you think its right that 0.1% of the population owns more wealth than the bottom 3 billion on the planet? you'd get a different responce. If you asked is it right to give the rich a tax cut and eliminate inheritance tax for the super billionaire rich during a time of war, that is inriching the super rich, while the poor pay for it and die for it, you'd get another responce.

        Gallup is being run by Murdock, or Fox or some other right wing partisan anti-science group.

        The super rich are leaving the rich behind at an exponential rate. The average exec makes 350 times more than

          the average employee in america.

          Democracy is a joke in america. When the average ceo makes 350 times more than the average employee, DEMOCRACY AND THE CONSITITUTION ARE MEANINGLESS.

            Democracy is a joke in the world. If you don't believe me go check with the Czech Republic about a recent agreement with the United States. You can find examples of this everywhere. They all are crap as far as I'm concerned. Everywhere needs a massive overhaul in which power is stripped from government with regards to civil liberties and infringing upon them and the mandate of the governments of the world being to provide the healthiest state possible as opposed to making the wealthy wealthier.
