ALL NEW VOTER POLL: Biggest Problem In American Politics Is NOT Big Money, It Is...... Rasmussen will poll just about anything for a headline. Every now and then they do a poll that may actually shock the pundits, and this week, their poll just might. In a national telephone survey of 1,000 during the second week of February voters, Rasmussen found that: Which of these is the biggest problem, though? (Drumroll, please.) So, reading between the tea leaves here, it looks like the American people are not quite as lulled to sleep as the mainstream media would like. The people have come to the conclusion that dun dun DUN there is such a thing as media bias. Just exactly what that entails or which way the media is supposed to swing is not made clear, but the bottom line is as much all the money in politics is decried, the actual voters would appreciate unbiased and straight up reporting. As for the differences among people who claim allegiance to one of the two main political parties: Republicans show slightly less concern about the influence of wealthy individuals and special interests on elections compared to Democrats and voters not affiliated with either party. GOP and unaffiliated voters are more critical of wealthy special interests, though, than they are of wealthy individuals and companies. Democrats are less likely than the others to believe the media have too much influence over elections. When asked to choose between the two, Republicans name media bias as a bigger problem than large campaign contributions by a 67% to 28% margin. Democrats see big money as the bigger problem 57% to 34%. Among unaffiliated voters, 50% say big campaign contributions, while 40% say media bias. H/T Washington Examiner
