Noticed by Grim.
...The most recent results of the 22nd Heartland Monitor poll, sponsored by Alllstate and National Journal,
bear out Hansen's assessment of who is best suited to lead the U.S.
Years of federal gridlock and dysfunction have left the public favoring
state and local institutions over the federal government as the places
best equipped to offer solutions to the country's ongoing economic and
social challenges.
And
federal government? Well, it just leaves people wanting more, according
to the polling data. Of the 1,000 American adults surveyed, just 26
percent said that national-level institutions were making progress,
compared to the 64 percent who favored the state and local levels. This
conclusion cuts across the lines of gender, education, socioeconomics,
and even different regions of the country. In short, Americans are fed
up with the sniping and paralysis at the federal level and instead are
turning their attention to local governments and groups for solutions....
Perhaps "wanting more." Personally, I want less. YMMV.
