Rasmussen's weird calculus on "Political Class" and "Populist Mainstream" voters

[Hello_Kitty]

Came across this whilst tooling around their site: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/ideology/62_hold_populist_or_mainstream_views

Sixty-two percent (62%) of voters nationwide now hold populist, or Mainstream, views of government. That’s up from 55% earlier in the year. These voters are skeptical of both big government and big business. (see crosstabs)

Only four percent (4%) now support the the Political Class, down from seven percent (7%) six months ago. These voters tend to trust political leaders more than the public at large and are far less skeptical about government.

Huh? 4% is close to margin of error. Outlier territory. People who give bullshit answers to the pollsters or don't understand the question. And here are the questions they use to determine this:

The questions used to calculate the Index are:

-- Generally speaking, when it comes to important national issues, whose judgment do you trust more - the American people or America’s political leaders?

-- Some people believe that the federal government has become a special interest group that looks out primarily for its own interests. Has the federal government become a special interest group?

-- Do government and big business often work together in ways that hurt consumers and investors?

To create a scale, each response earns a plus 1 for the populist answer, a minus 1 for the political class answer, and a 0 for not sure.

Holy fucking fuckety fuck! Who would come out as "Political Class" on this? Rahm Emmanuel and his brothers?
