Poll: 75% 'angry' at government

It's about time:

Three-quarters of the nation’s voters are “angry” at the federal government’s policies, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey out Monday.

Of the 1,000 likely voters surveyed Feb. 5-6, 75 percent said they were either “very” or “somewhat” angry with the “current policies of the federal government.” Forty-five percent said they were “very” angry.

Nearly two-thirds, 60 percent, agreed with the statement that “neither Republican political leaders nor Democratic political leaders have a good understanding of what is needed today."

The percentage of those who said they were angry with the federal government has been on the rise.

We can only hope we had some part in that.

I clicked on the Rasmussen for more details, and boy, what details! Check out this analysis:

The divide between the Political Class and Mainstream voters, however, is remarkable. Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Mainstream voters are angry, but 84% of the Political Class are not. Those numbers include 57% of Mainstream voters who are Very Angry and 51% of the Political Class who are not angry at all.

But then 68% of Mainstream voters don’t think the leaders of either major political party have a good understanding of what the country needs today. Sixty-one percent (61%) of the Political Class disagree.

The ruling elite has every reason to be fat and happy these days. The vast majority of the people, however, has much to be angry about, from the irresponsible pace of mounting deficits, to pointless, endless wars, to government-backed demographic revolution.
