You can't get that from voting patterns: Resistance to government spending and handouts depend on where you are putting the money. I haven't actually met a farmer that is opposed to farm subsidies, for example. And I think there is a hint of ignorance when it does benefit them: The local ISP finally giving a rural location higher-speed internet probably did so because they received government money or have brushed up against government regulations that require them to upgrade in the countryside as well as urban areas - yet the government spending goes unnoticed. I'll add that the US is a 2 party system in practice, so the reasons for voting conservative vary greatly and you can't really take voting a certain way as "against handouts" when it is easily other issues that prompts the vote.
