The public wanted the pace of reforms in areas such as the health service to be quickened, according to a new survey for the CBI.
The poll of 2,500 adults showed that almost two out of three believed private sector firms should be allowed to provide public services as long as they were of high quality.
The research was published as hundreds of NHS workers staged the first of two 24-hour strikes in protest at their jobs being privatised.
The CBI said its study showed that unions who argued against public service reform were "out of touch" with the public mood.
More than half of those questioned said they supported the Government's decision to invite companies to provide GP services in areas where there was a shortage of doctors, with 30% against.
CBI director general Richard Lambert said: "This new poll proves that attempts to derail public services reform are not only misguided, they also misjudge the public mood.
"People want more reform, not less, to bring services up to the levels they rightly expect."
Eat that lefties!
