Largely because of Obuggery being in the WH.
“and a letdown in hopes for political progress after a bout of bipartisanship last fall. “
Another pantload from the fourth estate.
Obamas Ebonomics are not working.
Liberal/progressive/commies and rino’s have morphed our government into the dung pile it is now.
Can we start shooting yet?
MIke
There’s that “change” Hussein promised.
Just what do the blessed "independents" want? (And should I care?)
The question on my mind is: why are "independents" souring on the GOP? Is it because the GOP is not being bold enough in budget cutting? Or is it the effects of the Democrats and their Lamestream Media allies portraying Republicans, once again, as being utterly heartless extremists who want to starve the poor?
The system, as practiced, is broken. And the fundamental problem lies with the voters.
So now polls showing the public is not happy with Washington’s performance means they want to ditch our “system of government”?
Used to be when they were unhappy with the performance in DC the buck stopped with the pitiful president in the White House.
So what new “system of government” are these international socialists at ABC comtemplating for the US? Because they will be pushing that as the solution to American discontent soon.
So what else is new...?
This poll is worthless because it doesn’t break out the % of Republicans, independents and Democrats who were polled.
More “Unexpected” news?
Obama rising, Palin sinking???? huh?
Then the BIG question. If they are not trusting govt, who are they trusting? Unions? Democrats? MSM?, Obama?
I think revolution is coming, but God save us. This revolution will be more like the French revolution, focused on what they didn’t want vs. the American revolution which focused on what they wanted.........freedom and liberty.
Discontent with the “system of government” or the people in the government? The system is fine, to the extent that we’ve adhered to the constitutional republic that was once our guiding course. It’s the crooked thugs that have taken over that are of great concern.
History is repeating itself because we forgot to learn from it.
the US Constitution and the government that adheres to it are fine.
it’s when you glom on socialistic bs that a country craters.
the problem, as in ALL other countries that have adopted similar methods... is ALWAYS socialism / marxism / progressivism / communism
This is one thing that the White House HAS done!
Confidence in the U.S. System of Government AS RUN BY LIBERALS Drops to a 35-Year Low
“We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

It still works for me. Unlike Versailles on the Potomac.
Alter, or better yet, abolish it.
