September 21, 2020: In terms of what's best for the economy, 45% of voters nationwide prefer more government regulation establishing rules for large corporations. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 37% disagree. They would rather see less government regulation to allow for more private sector innovation.[1]

Those who live in urban areas favor more government regulation by a wide margin—53% to 29%. Those who live in suburban and rural areas are more evenly divided.[1]

Most voters under 45 favor increased regulation while older voters tend to see more value in allowing innovation.[1]

There is a huge partisan divide. Sixty-three percent (63%) of Democrats like the idea of more regulation while 58% of Republicans take the opposite view. Independent voters are fairly evenly divided.[1]
