Historic: Nearly Half Of All Americans “Very Angry” At Federal Government - Up 10% Since September - 71% Angry
Seventy-one percent (71%) of voters nationwide say they’re at least somewhat angry about the current policies of the federal government. That figure includes 46% who are Very Angry.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 27% are not angry about the government’s policies, including 10% who are Not at All Angry.
Men are angrier than women, and voters over 40 are more angry than those who are younger. A majority of those over 40 are Very Angry. Only 25% of under-30 voters share that view.
The data suggests that the level of anger is growing. The 71% who are angry at federal government policies today is up five percentage points since September.
Even more stunning, the 46% who are Very Angry is up 10 percentage points from September.
Among the nation’s Political Class, just six percent (6%) are angry. However, among those with more Mainstream, or populist, views, 85% are angry. A majority of Americans today hold views that can be described as Mainstream or populist. Very few align with the Political Class (see more information on this divide).

Fifty-two percent (52%) of voters nationwide believe neither Republican nor Democratic political leaders have an understanding of what is needed today. That frustration is down eight points from 60% in September.
Sixty-five percent (65%) of Republicans and 59% of unaffiliated voters say that neither party has the answers. Those percentages are down significantly since September. Democrats remain fairly evenly divided as they were in September.
This unhappiness with government policies and leaders is reflected in numerous other Rasmussen Reports surveys. Americans, for example, now view being a member of Congress as the least respected job one can hold. President Obama’s job approval ratings also have suffered in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
The latest numbers show that only nine percent (9%) of voters trust the judgment of America’s political leaders more than the judgment of the American people. Seventy-four percent (74%) place more trust in the wisdom of the crowd.
Seventy-one percent (71%) believe the federal government has become a special interest group that looks out primarily for its own interests. Sixty-eight percent (68%) believe that government and big business work together in ways that hurt consumers and investors.
Opposition to the health care plan proposed by the president and congressional Democrats remains high. Voters continue to oppose the government bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler, and a growing number now believe their taxes will go up during the Obama years.

Disconnect? And yet they keep getting re-elected. Sad really.
The eyes….
….they are opening…..
0bowmao…..You suck. And it’s spreading.
Is there an “radically angry” category
Angry? Ya think? What were the signs? Tea Parties? Grassroots movements? The 9-12 Project? Town Hall Meetings? Boy, I’ll have to saw one thing for you political retards - you sure are fucking stupid!
F**k you rasmussen, you libtard POS. If you ever listen to him speak, it’s pure agony for a straight talker to endure. Also, note the bastards phrasing of questions, ie, “Seventy-four percent (74%) place more trust in the wisdom of the crowd.” How about “majority” instead of “crowd”? This piss ant can’t keep his liberal bias from showing. One more reason for me to doubt their polling. May the conservatives in this country, over 60% in the last poll, rise up and wax these democrat libtards ass in 2010.
Me angry? No how about pissed, enraged and seething.
Let me count all the F’d up stuff Chairman Zero and his office has helped contribute to since he’s been office.
Turning the other cheek with rampant immigration, apologizing to our enemies, bailing out wall street thugs at our expense, aiding and abetting corrupt rotten groups such as acorn and hiring anti-american communist slobs who are trashing our government on our dime.
Don’t even get me started on California, the illegal aliens and the public unions that have Californians by the balls.
I’m totally sick of it. I’m one of the ones who has gotten off the couch and has become politically active, almost to a zealot degree. This anger fuels me.
I see senior citizens in my community barely making it, young couples with barely any money as one of them have either lost their job or ran out of unemployment benefits.
Angry, hell yes.
They spend tax money on stupid and wasteful projects. When the money is gone they raise taxes. Then they spend tax money on stupid and wasteful projects. When the money is gone they raise taxes. Then they spend tax money on stupid and wasteful projects. When the money is gone they raise taxes.
Should I go on??
Mad? It’s even hard for me to look at Fox News.
Give us some shit health care, and send accorn out to steal another election, and very angry will be a nice term.
So, despite the biased language, even libs are starting to realize lots of people are really pissed. Time to fire congress folks. I won’t be voting for an incubment, I don’t even care about party, since they’re all feeding the same beast.
Barry the Usurper and His Party apparatchiks do not own America.
We the People lend them our sovereignty.

The DC hangings and burnings event is scheduled for the day ZERO arrives from Copenhagen. After signing away US sovereignty legal citizens blockade DC with military help and trials ensue. Miles of rope is needed for decorative neckties.
March on Washington and SHUT IT DOWN!
