September 17, 2019: Thirty-three percent (33%) of voters nationwide believe the U.S. Constitution needs a major overhaul. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that 37% would like to see minor changes made while 30% don’t think any changes are required.^[1]

As on many issues these days, there is a huge generation gap. Among voters under 35, 48% believe the Constitution needs a major overhaul. Just 16% of senior citizens agree.

If changes are made, 56% want further limits placed on the federal government. Forty-four percent (44%) want changes that would make it easier for the government to get things done.

A majority of all age groups prefer changes that would place further limits on government power.

The U.S. Constitution was signed 232 years ago today in Philadelphia.
