About one-quarter of respondents expressed a neutral view or said they were unsure.</p>\n<p>The same poll asked other questions that took America's temperature on the size of government. A majority said it should not be the government's role to redistribute wealth, and a majority said they prefer \"a smaller government providing less services.\"</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>via <em><a href=\"http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/President/2012/0713/Is-America-becoming-a-socialist-state-40-percent-say-yes\">Is America becoming a 'socialist state'? 40 percent say yes. - CSMonitor.com</a></em>.</p>\n"
