But many Americans , including Republicans , think the country is spending too little on programs like Social Security .

About half say border security is not receiving enough funding.

About 9 in 10 Republicans and just over half of Democrats say foreign aid is too much.

But most Republicans say the military is underfunded.

About 8 in 10 Republicans say too little money is allocated to border security, and about two-thirds say that about Social Security . ___ The AP -NORC poll of 1,147 adults was conducted Jan. 9-13 , using a sample drawn from NORC ’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel , which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population.
