People don’t think the Founding Fathers would approve of Barack Obama? Shocker.
Via HuffPo:
Thanks for nothing.
According to one poll, that’s how Americans see the Founding Fathers’ reacting to today’s United States. Gallup’s Thursday findings show that while most are still proud to call the United States home, there is worry about how the signers of the Declaration of Independence would see things.
When asked if the Founding Fathers would be pleased or disappointed, 71 percent said the latter, marking a 17 percent jump since 2001. The 2013 survey reached out to two random groups of 1,529 and 2,048 people, respectively.
These doubts parallel record-low numbers for Congress. A Gallup poll released in mid-June found confidence in the legislative body was down to 10 percent — the lowest mark for any institution on record.
