SOUTHERN ARIZONA – Although the American people continue to re-elect largely the same Congress every election cycle, a Pew Research Center survey found that 4 out of 5 Americans, or 80%, do not trust Washington D.C.

“Trust in government rarely gets this low,” said Andrew Kohut of the Pew Research Center. “Some of it’s backlash against Obama. But there are a lot of other things going on.”

“The survey illustrates the ominous situation President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party face as they struggle to maintain their comfortable congressional majorities in this fall’s elections,” wrote the Associated Press.  ”This anti-government feeling has driven the tea party movement, reflected in fierce protests this past week.”

Democrats and Republicans alike are growing increasingly frustrated with Washington D.C. and career politicians.  ”The government’s been lying to people for years. Politicians make promises to get elected, and when they get elected, they don’t follow through,” a Democrat voter who joined the Tea Party rally on “Tax Day”, April 15th.  She wants government out of her business, and concedes Obama is doing nothing to help fix the problem.
