Nobody Thinks Washington Gets it, Except Maybe Washington

By Gary Howard

A new Zogby poll illustrates the frustration, and wisdom, of the general public when it comes to judging the state of affairs in Washington, DC.

80% That’s the percentage of likely voters who agree that the people in Washington, D.C. are out of touch with the rest of the country. Only 19% disagree and 1% are unsure.

I will take a completely unscientific guess and say of the 19% who disagreed, most were involved with beltway insider business of some sort. I would only hope so.

And then we have this other poll from Zogby showing that a slight percentage more (84%) of folks are smart enough to know that 3000 page monster bills are bad news anyway you slice.

I am beginning to be more and more enthralled with the whole random selection of Congress idea.
