Most Americans have "come to believe that the political system is broken, that most politicians are corrupt, and that neither major political party has answers," observes Scott Rasmussen.
Just 27% believe Congress knows what it's doing when it comes to the economy and 41% say that a group of people randomly selected from the phone book would do a better job than the current Congress.
