Gallup Poll right after Democrat convention shows independents deeply opposed to growth of big government, exact opposite of democrats

9/28/12, "The Liberal Media Is Ignoring Romney's Strength With Independents," US News & World Report, Mary Kate Cary

"If you believe, as I do, that the central question in this election is whether to grow the government going forward or reform the government we have, then here's the most telling number of all: In Gallup's polling right after the Democratic convention, nearly two-thirds of independents said that government "is trying to do too many things that should be left to individuals and businesses." 

That's almost exactly the opposite of what two-thirds of Democrats said that government should do more. 

That's a huge disconnect between the president and independent voters, and there's not a peep about it in the media. I don't think that's by accident."
