Is Libertarianism on the Rise? (And Should We Thank the President?)

An interesting tidbit from Sunday’s Washington Post about a new Washington Post-ABC News poll:

The poll also shows how much ground Obama has lost during his first year of trying to convince the public that more government is the answer to the country’s problems. By 58 percent to 38 percent, Americans said they prefer smaller government and fewer services to larger government with more services. Since he won the Democratic nomination in June 2008, the margin between those favoring smaller over larger government has moved in Post-ABC polls from five points to 20 points.
