Washington’s approval ratings have been very low for a very long time, but just how low is illustrated in a new poll from The Hill: voters are more sour on DC than they are on Wall Street, the site of the ongoing protests.
“The movement appears to have struck a chord with progressive voters, but it does not seem to represent the feelings of the wider public,” the Congressional newspaper reported. “The Hill poll found that only one in three likely voters blames Wall Street for the country’s financial troubles, whereas more than half — 56 percent — blame Washington.”
