Poll: Voters support cutting DEI, foreign aid spending, but not Medicaid, military

American taxpayers are divided on federal spending and whether significant cuts should be made, but the vast majority support increasing or maintaining current funding levels for entitlement programs such as Medicaid and for national defense.

The Center Square’s Voters’ Voice Poll, conducted April 15-18 by Noble Predictive Insights, surveyed 1,187 Democrats; 1,089 Republicans; and 251 non-leaning Independents. The poll has a +/- 2.0% margin of error.

The majority of Americans do not want the U.S. government to increase spending on its tax collection efforts, foreign aid or DEI programs.

Of the 2,527 poll respondents, only 19% of voters back boosting funds for the Internal Revenue Service and 30% support a decrease.
