A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds 73% of voters agree with Vice President Biden that "Washington right now is broken." Of those surveyed just 15% disagree with the vice president's analysis of the political situation in the nation's capital. Of that survey 12% more are not sure.
However, 75% of all voters now say they are angry at the government's current policies, 60% think neither Republican leaders nor Democratic leaders have a good understanding of what is needed today.
Another 63% believe, generally speaking, that it would be better for the country if most Congressional incumbents were defeated this November. Their confidence in their own congressman also continues to fall. That would include the incumbent Congresswoman Melissa Bean from the 8th District.
Most voters continue to be against the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats, which Congresswoman Bean voted for.
The Declaration of Independence, states that governments derive "their just powers from the consent of the governed." Today, however, just 21% of voters nationwide believe that the federal government has the consent of the governed.
