Voters are anti-incumbent and angry,new poll finds

[cal04]

Most Americans are angry about "something" when it comes to how the country is run, and they are more likely than in previous years to vote for a challenger this November, a new poll suggests.

A majority of Americans surveyed -- and a higher percentage than recorded during the same time last year -- said things in the United States are going "badly." Among this year's respondents, 29 percent said "pretty badly" and 25 percent -- up from 15 percent a month ago -- answered "very badly." By comparison, 37 percent described the way things are going as "fairly well," and 9 percent answered "very well."

Of these people, 76 percent said there was "something" to be angry about in the country today. By comparison, 59 percent felt that way when polled in February. (Watch Bill Schneider's take on angry voters -- 1:40)

Only 21 percent said they were "generally content" in the latest poll.

2. Tis will cause the Repukes to spend a lot more money to rig the election.

Polls could show voters opposed to Republicans 80% to 20% and somehow the Pukes would still eke out a razor-thin victory.

As Joe Stalin (a Bush-type) said, it's not about who casts the votes, it's about who counts them.

I personally, sincerely, and whole-heartedly believe the RNC and the Republican Party in general to be completely corrupt and responsive to nothing but the desire to acquire power at any cost. So it isn't a matter of WHETHER they will try to steal elections; it is a matter of how do we stop them.
