"I would imagine that these results would reflect the same thing for a number of the last administrations."

The poll gives the results going back to 1985. On question 25, the poll asks...

"28. On another subject, out of every dollar the federal government collects in taxes, how many cents do you think are wasted?"

In 1985, that number was $.43 of every dollar. Today, that number is $.53 of every dollar. The only other time it was higher was on 1/7/98, which probably not coincidentally was the same time Clinton was facing impeachment.

I’ll bet there were unhappy people way further back than that too.
