71% of American Voters Angry at Federal Government

Rasmussen Reports
Seventy-one percent (71%) of voters nationwide say they�re at least somewhat
angry about the current policies of the federal government. That figure
includes 46% who are Very Angry.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 27%
are not angry about the government's policies, including 10% who are Not at
All Angry.
Men are angrier than women, and voters over 40 are more angry than those who
are younger. A majority of those over 40 are Very Angry. Only 25% of
under-30 voters share that view.
The data suggests that the level of anger is growing. The 71% who are angry
at federal government policies today is up five percentage points since
September.
Even more stunning, the 46% who are Very Angry is up 10 percentage points
from September.
Among the nation�s Political Class, just six percent (6%) are angry.
However, among those with more Mainstream, or populist, views, 85% are
angry. A majority of Americans today hold views that can be described as
Mainstream or populist. Very few align with the Political Class...
This unhappiness with government policies and leaders is reflected in
numerous other Rasmussen Reports surveys. Americans, for example, now view
being a member of Congress as the least respected job one can hold.
President Obama's job approval ratings also have suffered in the Rasmussen
Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
The latest numbers show that only nine percent (9%) of voters trust the
judgment of America�s political leaders more than the judgment of the
American people. Seventy-four percent (74%) place more trust in the wisdom
of the crowd.
Seventy-one percent (71%) believe the federal government has become a
special interest group that looks out primarily for its own interests.
Sixty-eight percent (68%) believe that government and big business work
together in ways that hurt consumers and investors.
Opposition to the health care plan proposed by the president and
congressional Democrats remains high. Voters continue to oppose the
government bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler, and a growing number now
believe their taxes will go up during the Obama years.

These days a Republican can't be elected to be the dog catcher.

Too bad they didn't ask people what they thought of Republicans.
I can understand why they did not...no one likes to be spat on.
