Okay sure, but to sit here and definitively say that a minority of US voters prefer limited government is patently untrue.

The willingness of both parties to constantly expand government despite it’s huge size suggests otherwise. A few state governments are actually significantly smaller, so there is significant wiggle room. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._state_budgets

My guess is it’s a difference between stated preferences and actual preferences.
