Sidebar: We're Out of Touch

There has been some additional polling since I did my We're Out of Touch post last week, and the numbers aren't looking any better.

The same generally conservative-based polling company I subscribe to has come out with more numbers illustrating our discontent:

• 49% think we could get better representation if we randomly pulled numbers from the phone book
• 66% think the rules are rigged to favor incumbents, and that's why they keep getting re-elected
• 72% think we'd be in a better place if the majority of the folks in Congress didn't get re-elected

Maybe yesterday, when around 70% of Americans were sitting down to a family dinner for Easter, folks talked about things like this and maybe it means that more people will vote the next time they have the chance.
