A new Ipsos survey shows Americans overwhelmingly reject the idea that unlimited political spending should be treated as free speech protected by the First Amendment.

Key takeaways: 81% of Americans are concerned about the influence of money in politics, including 78% of Republicans, 90% of Democrats, and 82% of Independents. And 77% say it poses a threat to elections.

Also important: 72% agree Congress and the states should be able to reasonably regulate and limit money in campaigns and elections, including super-majorities of Republicans (69%), Democrats (83%), and Independents (78%).
