Stuck On Stupid

Not Good news for the Democrat controlled Congress. Over Two Thirds of voters have no confidence in politicians or the 110th session.

From The Washington Times :

Cynicism about American politics has risen sharply in recent months, according to a new poll that finds growing numbers of voters feel the country is heading in the wrong direction and that fewer think politicians can fix the problems.

More than two-thirds of likely voters (71 percent) say their member of Congress puts party politics ahead of them, according to the latest George Washington University Battleground 2008 Poll released yesterday.

The bipartisan poll found that 70 percent of voters said the country is on the wrong track, with 58 percent feeling strongly about it. Only 32 percent of voters think their children will be better off than they are now — a drop of seven percentage points since January.

“Cynicism may be the hot new political trend the politicians are going to have to fight against,” said Brian Nienaber, vice president of the Tarrance Group, a Republican research team. “People hold such a cynical view of how things are run in Washington that they’re going to have to try doubly hard.”
