81 % of Americans unhappy with government

Gallup:
 A record-high 81% of Americans are dissatisfied with the way the country is being governed, adding to negativity that has been building over the past 10 years.
Trend: Reaction to How the Nation Is Being Governed
Majorities of Democrats (65%) and Republicans (92%) are dissatisfied with the nation's governance. This perhaps reflects the shared political power arrangement in the nation's capital, with Democrats controlling the White House and U.S. Senate, and Republicans controlling the House of Representatives. Partisans on both sides can thus find fault with government without necessarily blaming their own party.
...
I think this is bad news for Obama and the Democrats.  I think it reflects the intensity of the GOP base which has an even higher number who are dissatisfied.
