How many of us trust our Government, or collectivley our representatives, to follow our wishes in representing us??
How many of us think they just do whatever they want to??
How many of us think that they follow the money and vote the way that they are paid to??
Sixty percent (60%) of voters now oppose the passage of a second stimulus plan this year, a five-point increase in opposition since the issue was first raised in March. Still, despite the public opposition, 68% say the president and Congress are likely to pass a second plan this year anyway.
The Supreme Court is expected to hand down a ruling this fall that could loosen restrictions on contributions to political campaigns in a major way, but 56% of U.S. voters believe the federal government should regulate how much money individuals can give to political campaigns. However, 88% say special interest groups will find a way to get around those regulations.
Disclosure is seen as more important than limits and 40% believe it costs $10,000 or less to influence a Member of Congress.
Thirty-four percent (34%) of voters believe the United States is moving in the right direction, the lowest level of optimism found since early March.
