Rasmussen: 71% of voters are “angry” at the federal government

Voters aren’t exactly happy campers right now:
Seventy-one percent (71%) of voters nationwide say they’re at least somewhat angry about the current policies of the federal government. That figure includes 46% who are Very Angry.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 27% are not angry about the government’s policies, including 10% who are Not at All Angry.
The anger is there, but voters have a very short term memory. Come election time, either the primaries or general election, Republicans have to get these folks to trust them again. Harping on social issues is not going to resonate with the electorate. They’ve got to stick to fiscal issues.
Fiscal issues are the way back to a conservative majority. Hopefully, the American people can be kept this angry and hopefully made angrier by November 2010.
Luckily, with Huckabee gone social populism can take a back seat because socons need to learn when and how to pick their battles.
That and no more regulating what people can and cannot do if it doesn’t infringe on another person’s freedom.
