John Sides wrote an article in Salon about a poll of what Conservatives want to cut. There were some mistakes in the original article and the correction doesn't seem to help much. Kevin Drum's article on it, What Do Conservatives Want? is clearer (see the second chart not the first).
"The basic point still holds: conservatives aren't in favor of cutting very much. However, foreign aid is still a bogeyman, though it represents only a tiny part of the federal budget, and conservatives are in favor of cutting 'welfare' generally, though not so much in favor of cutting specific welfare programs."
