Seventy-two percent (72%) think that federal agencies should be required to publicly disclose and post online all guidances regarding regulations on how the government will enforce a regulation or law passed by congress. A Napolitan News survey found that just 11% disagreed.

Reigning in powerful federal agencies has been a top issue for the incoming Trump administration, and increased transparency could have a significant impact. Several states are considering requirements that any federal guidance received by state agencies must be disclosed to the public and the state legislature.

Currently, 45% of voters believe the federal government has too much power relative to state governments. In comparison, just 16% think states have too much power, and 24% think the balance of power between federal government and states is about right.
