National Survey of 1,000 American Adults

Conducted August 31-September 1, 2015

By Rasmussen Reports

1* How would you rate the job government public assistance programs have done in reducing poverty and getting Americans back to work – excellent, good, fair or poor?

2* Do current government programs increase the level of poverty in America or decrease the level of poverty in America? Or do they have no impact on the level of poverty?

3* Are there too many Americans dependent on the government for financial aid or not enough? Or is the level of dependency about right?
