CNN poll: are our elected officials working in national interest.
We don't even have to DU the poll. 99% say no! The other 1% must be defense contractor companies and their dependents.


"Do you believe elected officials in Washington are truly working in the national interest?"

2. Does the question beg..

..a "no" answer in a way, though? Maybe I'm just imagining that it does. Besides does it mean the executive branch? the congress? Hard to say what it means exactly.

4. I take it to mean all federal elected officials..
since it doesn't really matter if your mayor is working in the national interest.

It looks like bad news for the President and bad news for congress, so basically bad news for Republicans. But I have to wonder if their isn't some technical glitch going on. Numbers like that precede a revolution.

5. Amazing. Out of nearly 5,000 people, only 62 people said "yes."

Then again, maybe the freepers think the question meant, "Are Liberals sabotaging our government?"
