Further sentences to ponder, or my Arnold Kling imitation

I am aware that not everyone is happy with Rasmussen polls, still I think this result is striking, especially the difference in perspectives:

63% of the Political Class think the government has the consent of the governed, but only six percent (6%) of those with Mainstream views agree.

Seventy-one percent (71%) of all voters now view the federal government as a special interest group, and 70% believe that the government and big business typically work together in ways that hurt consumers and investors.

The link is here, with further information, and I thank Roger Congleton for the pointer.
