The Nation - News from Sept. 25, 1986

More Than half of American adults surveyed were satisfied with the level of government services and taxes, the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations said in releasing results of a Gallup Poll. The poll, conducted May 17-25, also found that 41% of those questioned favored a more powerful federal government--a significant increase from 1982, when 30% said they would like to see the government use its powers more vigorously.
