4 out of 5 believe the government is broken

More than 4 out of every 5 people believe the government is broken. CNN had the details:

Americans overwhelmingly believe that the government is broken, according to a national poll released Sunday.

But the CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey also indicates that the public overwhelmingly holds out hope that what's broken can be fixed.

Eighty-six percent of people questioned say that the system of government is broken, with 14 percent saying no.

This doesn't shock me. What does surprise me is that 4 out of 5 people in that group think it can be fixed:

Of the 86 percent, 81 percent say that the government can be fixed, but 5 percent say it's beyond repair.

Maybe that's why people used to look at Obama as superman, ready to right all the world's wrongs. Oddly, millions of people tune into Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. Maybe it's not the government that's in trouble.
