»  Comments | Post a Comment

Only 15 percent of Americans surveyed trust the federal government to do what is right just about always or most of the time.

You should note though that the poll was taken during a rough time on Capitol Hill. It was conducted this past Friday through Sunday during the Congressional standoff between Democrats and Republicans over disaster relief funding -- which threatened to shut down the government
