View help for Summary
Even when controlling for
big versus small government philosophies, this paper reports quantitatively
significant cleavages in the probabilities of supporting increased federal
antipoverty efforts persist between conservatives and liberals, and Republicans
and Democrats. However, predicted conditional probabilities show that support
for increased welfare spending or federal responsibility in raising the
standard of living of the poor is not overwhelming, even among liberals and
Democrats while support for increased federal assistance to the poor is fairly
strong, even among conservatives and Republicans. Hence, we consider assertions
that conservatives and Republicans do not care about the poor to be extreme and
unsupported.
