Enthusiasm for Government Waning?

Greg Sargent notices that independents in particular are feeling skittish about the Obama administration's agenda as it relates to government:

It suggests a possible souring on one of the hallmarks of this presidency: An unabashed embrace of ambitious government. A solid majority of 59% say Obama's proposals call for too much government spending; 52% say they call for too much government expansion.

What's problematic is that these numbers are largely fueled by independents. Two-thirds of indys, 66%, say Obama's proposals call for too much spending, and 60% say they call for too much government expansion.
