U.S. Gov Out of Step with Us

Rasmussen Reports polling organization has a page which summarizes just how out of step with American voters the federal government is currently. You owe it to yourself to go there and see all the parameters on which the people go one way and "your" government goes the other. Here are a few examples:
  • An overwhelming majority of Likely Voters in the United States think all voters in the country should be required to present photo identification in order to vote in U.S. elections.
  • Fifty six percent (56%), in fact, believe the policies of the federal government encourage people to enter the United States illegally.
  • Most Americans still oppose granting U.S. citizenship automatically to children born in America to illegal immigrants.
  • With midterm elections less than three months away, nearly two-out-of-three voters (65%) remain at least somewhat angry at the current policies of the federal government in all areas, including 40% who are Very Angry.
