Poll: 4 out of 5 Americans don't trust Washington

"There are lies, damned lies, and poll numbers."

Mobs to tend to enjoy shear numbers, but we, here at LB1901, don't think much of polls, other than the only one that matters on election day.

Although, persistent numbers can illuminate anecdotal evidence which may allude to trends and general tenor:

"The survey illustrates the ominous situation President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party face as they struggle to maintain their comfortable congressional majorities in this fall's elections. Midterm prospects are typically tough for the party in power. Add a toxic environment like this and lots of incumbent Democrats could be out of work.

The survey found that just 22 percent of those questioned say they can trust Washington almost always or most of the time and just 19 percent say they are basically content with it. Nearly half say the government negatively affects their daily lives, a sentiment that's grown over the past dozen years.

This anti-government feeling has driven the tea party movement, reflected in fierce protests this past week."
Apparently, that has Bubba upset.
