In a recent poll, people were asked wether or not the nation would be better off if incumbents were re-elected, or, thrown out of office.
Of people "likely to vote", 63% said the country would be better off if incumbents were voted out of office in Congress. 19% disagree. 18% not sure.
Of mainstream voters (registered voters), 78% said that the nation would be better off if encumbents in Congress were voted out.
In November of 2009, not long ago, the same poll had mainstream voters at a 42%/42% split on wether incumbents should be in, or outed.
Something very big has changed, I don't think the Nixon and Vietnam Era was near this bad. Something that was brewing in 2008, and 2009, is starting to bubble over now.
In the same poll, people considered of the political "class", of them, 89% think the country would be better off re-electing the incumbents in Congress.
What a difference. Big changes are headed for the political animals. They are dis-connected from the rest of this country...about as disconnected as a group can be.
November will be interesting.
