According to a recent Rasmussen Poll (2/3/10) Debra Medina’s Texas gubernatorial campaign is well positioned with regard to the issues of spending and taxation.
Sixty-three percent (63%) of voters in Texas say the government should cut government spending. Six percent (6%) favor an increase in spending, while 21% think a freeze on spending is the best way to go.
Sixty-six percent (66%) say cutting taxes is the best way to create new jobs. Just 12% think more government spending is a better job-creator, and 14% say neither will work [Emphasis added].
Medina scores high on both issues in advocating both tax cuts, notably abolishing the property tax, as well as dramatic cuts in spending to shrink the size of the Texas government.
Regarding national issues, Rasmussen data show:
Forty-eight percent (48%) of Texas voters say reducing federal spending is more important than reducing the deficit. Thirty-seven percent (37%) disagree and say reducing the deficit is more important.
Debra’s signature issue of getting rid of the property tax, as a way of preserving freedom, puts her in harmony with 2/3 of the likely voters. This is a huge advantage. Don’t be surprised to see a Medina victory in the primary fire a shot for freedom heard around the world.
