One of the questions was an old standby: “Generally speaking, would you say you favor smaller government with fewer services, or larger government with more services?” Smaller government won by 50 to 44 percent, but the Post noted that that was a much smaller margin than previous surveys had shown, indicating the damage the Bush administration and the congressional Republicans have done to the “smaller government” brand.

There is also the trend that there is an increasing movement this year towards independent voters away from Rep or Dem. Part of the disillusionment that needs to be kept up.
Those don't answer your question because saying "country want a government the size Pail is advocating" is a straw man. One has to be a voice from that end in order just to get people thinking differently.
