Amidst historic lows in approval ratings for the federal government, Americans still have confidence in local and state governments, according to a new Gallup poll, a clear indication that the people are sick and tired of big government over reach and wish to see problems dealt with by their locally elected representatives.

"Two-thirds of Americans have a great deal or fair amount of confidence in their local governments to handle local problems, and a solid majority feel the same way about their state government." reports Gallup on findings from its annual Governance poll.


The poll found that just 5% have a "great deal of confidence" in the legislative branch, with less than a third expressing any form of confidence whatsoever.

The Executive branch faired little better with just 17% expressing a great deal of confidence and less than half in total expressing any form of confidence.

"...state and local officials could find that the public trust they enjoy would provide them strong public support for taking more control from Washington" notes Gallup, suggesting that education, health and human services, transportation, environmental regulations, and crime control could see more local and state influence.

Last week, findings indicated unprecedented levels of negativity toward the federal government, with a record high of 81% of Americans indicating that they are dissatisfied with the way the country is being governed.
The survey also found that almost half of the country (49%) believes that the federal government poses an immediate threat to individuals' rights and freedoms.

Dissatisfaction with Congress reaches even higher, with a whopping 82% disapproving of the way Congress is now handling its job.

The poll reflects a deep and growing distrust amongst Americans in an establishment across both parties that has continually and significantly chipped away at American's liberties since 9/11, all but destroyed the economy through both mismanagement and deliberate negligence, and has outright lied to the country on matters of the utmost importance domestically and internationally.

UN said "maybe it's little harsh, but that's what we got to do," to massacre people? Really? I'd like to see that. It would be enough for a murder case.

200% probability, Alex exaggerates again.

It makes me now not wanting to invent anything because if I do and make millions it will be taken away from me. I'm not the smartest guy in the world but I have a lot of good ideas that would help the whole world. I guess I will just be happy with 30,000 dollars a year and still live in my 2 bed 1 bath house. Hey at lease I don't live off of food stamps and welfare. I hope you Alex Jones will still be on talk radio for years to come telling us what we need to know. Thank you.

Someone must have the power in any country. Money=power. Make the gov smaller and you give more power to the money guys. They've not done a good job of running the country, they've taken care of themselves, or at least they think so. They being Wall Street, banks, multinationals. Time to give power back to the people, as democracy was intended to do.
