Opinion of federal government hits record low: poll The Federal Government is not held in the lowest extreme. It is the 0.0003% of the population representing the elected criminals presently in office.

Unfortunately, just Like Hitler's Willing Executioners, Goldhagen, 1996, There will always be sufficient numbers of the either evil or igorant to implement absolute evil tyranny.

Those certainly are held in the lowest regard, and will eventually meet their Ceausescu moment.

The poll of low-information voters. Their opinion of Federal Government hits a record low, however, they have a far less favorable opinion of the minority party of 2 thirds of the government with the majority party controlling the 2 most powerful branches of the government. Now that makes perfect sense, especially from the low-information voters.

But Obama’s rating never drops below 40%

Makes no sense at all.

Those monthly free money checks must have been late or not delivered in the amount they thought thus bad for this poll.

Sounds like a great time to start a movement to revert the 17th amendment vis-a-vis general election of Senators.

I would even go as far as promising every sitting Senator 1 free appointed 6 year term to get them to support it.

There is something wrong with the 13% of republicans who approve of the federal government. They are probably RINO Romney voters.
