Americans: Our government is a threat to our freedom

A new CNN poll shows that, by a 56-44% margin, the American people believe that the government has become so large and powerful that it constitutes a threat to their freedom.

One wonders whether Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid et al are listening.

Meanwhile, in a seperate poll by Fox News and Opinion Research on a related subject, the American people say that they would rather have a smaller government providing fewer services than a larger government providing more.

By a similar but slightly larger margin, however, Democrats feel the opposite.
