Americans Are More Skeptical of Washington Than Ever

Can you blame them? Look what Bush did to the country.

A desire for smaller government is especially evident since Barack Obama took office.

And yet, Americans want [big] gov't to go after Wall Street:

"There's one big exception, however. A solid majority, 61 percent, do want greater government regulation of the financial industry, something that Obama and the Democratic majorities in Congress are pushing now."

And then there is this:

"But the Democrats can take some solace in the fact that neither party can be confident it has the advantage among such a disillusioned electorate. Favorable ratings for both major parties, as well as for Congress, have reached record lows."

Now how do you think Americans are going to react if the Dems have to fight the Rs while trying to regulate Wall Street? Think about it.
