Seventy-one percent (71%) of voters nationwide say theyre 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........
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.

Sixty-five percent (65%) of Republicans and 59% of unaffiliated voters say that neither party has the answers. Those percentages are down significantly since September. Democrats remain fairly evenly divided as they were in September. The latest numbers show that only nine percent (9%) of voters trust the judgment of Americas political leaders more than the judgment of the American people. Seventy-four percent (74%) place more trust in the wisdom of the crowd............

If I were to believe the recent polls, 50% of the country approves of Obama, and 46% of the country is Very Angry with the government.
Hmmmmmmmmmm. We seem to be rather divided.

27% are not angry about the government's policies, Isn't that about the percentage of government workers? You know, the ones with the highest salaries and best benefits - and the ones that wouldn't have to sign on to the health plan?
The American people to the gov't and it's "Policies"?>

neither party has the answers Not surprising, when Obama says that we need to "reform" the healthcare system, and many Republicans reply, "Yes, but we need to reform it our way, not yours."
Too many Republicans and most of the Republican leadership just keep playing "Me too! Me too!"
Basically, Obama is saying, we need to slap on another $4 trillion in debt, and Republicans are saying, "How about doing just $3 trillion for now and the rest later?"

Ya think? Shoosh - sometimes you don’t need a poll, you just need to open your eyes. How did Bobby Dylan put.. “you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”. Methinks this anger will consume poor little bammy and his nurse nancy.

Did they already pull the link?
All I’m getting is:
Module not found
The requested module public_content could not be found.
Possible reasons for this are:
* The module name was misspelled, try changing the URL.
* The module does not exist on this site.
* This site uses siteaccess matching in the URL and you did not supply one, try inserting a siteaccess name before the module in the URL .

What Federal Government? In name only....it is Obama’s Government now...he has himself surrounded by fellow Marxists, radicals, and Socialists....few of them ever voted on. Obama is doing just what he has always planned to do...change America’s free market, freedom, capitalism into government owned entities for government only....tax the rest out of existence, collapse the nation then line up the non-believers and shoot them.....folks we’re just a few months away from Spain in the 1930s.....electing a man like Obama was and is stupid to run a free society...he is Marxist: non-caring and non-feeling.

Obama is a popular guy but they don’t like his policies.
It’s a survey result that has come out several times from different pollsters.

I've seen those surveys many times. Personally, I think a lot of people really dislike him but just can't bring themselves to put it down in black and white (they'd be racist if they didn't like him. right?). So people say that Obama seems like a swell guy, real bright, wonderful speaker, blah, blah, blah ... but his policies? Oh! Don't get me started on his policies!!!
We have a PC culture. Many folks say they like Obama. But they don't. Not as a person, and not as a policy maker.

Pitchforks and torches were brought because the “peasants” weren’t allowed to have real weapons. They brought the best they had.
Today’s citizens,
whom the left would LOVE to make into peasants in a feudalist society with them as the neo-nobility,
have much better than pitchforks and torches.

It just shows that people no longer believe in the two party system. It is horribly corrupt. No matter how you look at it. The GOP is to blame squarely for Obama getting into office.
All the way back to Obama’s first senate run - Jack Ryan...another great example of the cheating GOP scum. The GOP could have stopped Obama back then.
You can name GOP members that have done more to bring the DEMS in power than any DEM has ever done.
It is time to crush the two party system and bring forth candidates that will actually stand for the US Consitutition, implement immediate term limits, clean out our government of career politicians and truly return our country back to “We The People”...if we don’t make a drastic turn now we can all expect to be in forced conflict sooner than we all want to believe.
The choice is ours...stay with the same failed recipe somehow thinking that the GOP finally gets it...or wake up to the reality that they nor the DEMS will never get it.

I have heard others say we are on the verge of a revolution. They just not know if it would be an "American Revolution" or a "French Revolution." I also wonder which it will be.
