Poll: 74 percent of Americans say Congress out of touch

Hat tip to Americablog for pointing this out- inlcuded in this poll was a very big warning to the state of Michigan.



Respondents also were asked whether "big business" has too much influence over decisions made by the Bush administration.



Seventy-nine percent of those surveyed in the new Opinion Research poll said they feel big business does have too much influence over the administration's decisions. The poll comes after a congressional lobbying scandal and questions about White House ties to the Halliburton Co., a key U.S. contractor in the Iraq war.



The percentage of people who feel the administration is overly influenced by corporations is up 10 percentage points from a poll conducted in April 2001, a few months after Bush became president.


The answer for our state does not lie in electing another Bush Republican "businessman". Don't make the same mistake the country has made- if you do you will see the friends of DeVos grow richer while the general public continues to struggle to get by.



How is the Bush economy working out for you?
