It's not exactly a vote of confidence in the powers that be: A sizable number of Americans think the undead would do a better job than the brain dead in Washington, D.C.
Have you seen Harry Reid lately? Looks like a zombie is already running the Senate.
Thirty-seven percent (37%) of American Adults believe the federal government would do a better job than zombies running the country today. But the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that most Americans don't share that view, with just as many (37%) who feel zombies would do a better job running the country and another 26% who can't decide between the two. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Can we simply feed the current crop of congresscritters, aids, and federal officals to the zombies? Nah - forget that it might make the Zombies sick.
These findings are no surprise, given that 64% of Likely U.S. Voters now view the federal government unfavorably, with 34% who have a Very Unfavorable opinion of it.
Fifty-six percent (56%) of Democrats still pledge allegiance to the federal government, but pluralities of Republicans (45%) and those not affiliated with either major political party (44%) have more confidence in zombies when it comes to running the nation's affairs.
Only six percent (6%) of all Americans anticipate a zombie apocalypse, so supporters of the federal government can rest easy. Eighty-two percent (82%) do not, but 12% are not sure.
Among those who expect an apocalypse, 74% say they are at least somewhat prepared, with 53% who are Very Prepared.
