Survey says…Americans fear government more than insurance companies

August 10th, 2009 by Spokesblogger

Rasmussen Reports is out today with a new survey showing that 51% of Americans fear the federal government more than private insurance companies.

While 41% believe the opposite, only 25% agree with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that health insurance companies are villains.

Other findings:

  • 53% of Americans who have insurance fear the government more
  • Adults under 30 - the people who will be stuck with Obamacare - fear the government more
  • Independents, by a 53% margin, fear the government more than insurance companies
  • The majority of those who attend church at least once a month fear the government more

As for town hall protestors, 49% believe they are expressing the views of their neighbors while just 37% agree with Obama that they’re manufactured.

Finally, most voters believe middle class tax cuts are more important than new spending on health care.
