And what do they mean by "significant changes"?

"Earlier Gallup asked if voters would favor 'Cutting spending for programs other than defense, Social Security and Medicare.' 72% of R said yes. Only 13% favored defense spending alone. Gallup could have asked if the respondents if they favored 'cuts' in Social Security and Medicare rather than 'significant changes'.”

Yeah, I'm wary of the wording, too.
