Poll suggests Republican voters support most government spending

John Sides reports on a poll which repeats info mentioned elsewhere from other sources. Most people support the vast majority of the specific things that government does (while still saying they want to cut government overall). This includes Republican primary voters - which would constitute the most conservative members of the party. The following chart shows that over 50% of primary voters support cuts in only four relative negligible areas of spending: unemployment benefits, housing, the environment and foreign aid. Judging from these figures, these voters would not approve of the bulk of the proposals made in Paul Ryan's recent budget.
