1/3 OF AMERICANS SAY SPECIAL INTERESTS CONTROL OVER GOVERNMENT IS FULL BLOWN CRISIS

A new Gallup poll reveals that a third of Americans believe the power special interests now hold over government is a full blown crisis.

"Undoubtedly fueling the rise of unconventional presidential candidates"


A total of 33 percent of respondents across the political spectrum said that special interests having too much control over what the government does has reached crisis level.

A further 51 percent say they view the issue as a “major problem,” meaning that a huge majority of 84 percent are deeply worried about the government being controlled by private entities.

Actually 5:43pm it's quite large 33% say it's at 'crisis level' while and additional 51% say it's a 'major problem'. 84% of the country think it's at least a major problem is what I'm reading.

The 16% that don't think so have an involvement somewhere.

Then STOP electing those backed by special interests at the local level! Just say NO to Realtor PACs and slumlords buying seats in your city government!
