Majority of voters believe able-bodied people receiving food stamps should be required to work: Poll

A new poll released Monday found that the majority of respondents believe able-bodied people who are on food stamps should be required to work, instead of simply relying on government handouts.

The poll, conducted between May 14-15, found that 73% of respondents believe able-bodied people should be required to work if they receive federal benefits. 

The majority of respondents (62%) also believe that a big problem is that people are not getting the federal assistance that they need, while nearly one-third of respondents (30%) believe too many people receiving food stamps is an even bigger problem than people not getting the assistance.

The survey was conducted by pollster Scott Rasmussen for the Napolitan News Service, and questioned a total of 1,000 registered voters online. It has a margin of error of +/- 3.1%.
