This article provides polling data which shows how republican primary voters and others desire to cut spending on specific government programs. There were only four areas of spending in which the majority of republicans would like to cut spending. They were more favorable to spending cuts than others but the results were somewhat surprising. Perhaps the GOP platform is in response to those in the GOP base who have very strong feelings about government spending on social programs.
