The newly released Gallup survey found that 62% of Americans said the federal
government has too much power, marking a record high. This number is up from 51% one year ago and is also the highest amount in Gallup’s trend since 2002, according to the poll. The previous highest number of Americans who thought the U.S. government possessed too much power was 60%, which was recorded during former President Barack Obama’s second term in both 2013 and 2015, Gallup reported. The survey was conducted via telephone interviews from Sept. 2 to 16.
