This Gallup survey result is especially important in light of Sen. Ted Cruz’ 21-hour defense of freedom from the federal monstrosity known as ObamaCare.

Six in 10 Americans (60%) believe the federal government has too much power, one percentage point above the previous high recorded in September 2010. At least half of Americans since 2005 have said the government has too much power. Thirty-two percent now say the government has the right amount of power. Few say it has too little power.

Opposition to the federal takeover of health insurance/health care delivery — and the huge number of exemptions for friends of the administration — proves the point of the survey result.
