Amidst riots in central Europe that have now spread to London and a debt downgrade that threatens to plunge the United States into a double-dip recession, Americans lack of confidence in their leadership is so crippled that they are now pre-revolutionary, according to pollster Pat Caddell.
A new Rasmussen poll shows that just 17 per cent of Americans believe that the U.S. government has the consent of the governed, an all time low. This dovetails with a record low for Congress approval rating, which stands at a paltry 6 per cent, while 46 per cent of Americans think most members of Congress are corrupt, with just 29% believing otherwise.
The number of voters who feel the government has the consent of the governed a foundational principle, contained in the Declaration of Independence is down from 23% in early May and has fallen to its lowest level measured yet, according to Rasmussen.
The poll was conducted before Fridays U.S. debt downgrade, indicating that the figures could be even more dire in the aftermath of what some analysts believe is a precursor to a new great depression.
The results of this survey indicate that Americans are now pre-revolutionary says pollster Pat Caddell, who described the outcome of the poll as unprecedented.
This conclusion follows Caddells observation last November that a sea of anger is churning amongst Americans who want to take their country back and that the nation stood on the brink of a pre-revolutionary moment.

Because we will have gone Galt and have prepared for the final endgame of socialism. We have supported Europe and the rest of the world for 75 years and when we fall, who will support us or even pick up the pieces..There will be no middle class backstop for the anarchy and like we say in the hood...PAYBACK IS A B*TCH!
The obvious enemies of America need to start disappearing and commiting “suicide” No need for a toe to toe confrontation
There is a more than better chance that if one or more of our overseas enemies see an opening ... they will be over here to help ... them ... and
then turn on them as soon as the civil war is over
