This is an excellent poll; thank you for sharing it.  It's too bad they 
didn't include farm subsidies (both individual and corporate) in the survey.  
I wonder if it would be fair to say that people tend to view "welfare" as 
government spending that goes to programs they don't like?  

Sincerely,

David Levenstam
