Who Is this Crazy Four Percent?

By Doug Bandow on 11.11.09 @ 8:06AM

The other 19 percent aren't looking too bright either.

Some folks may be surprised that the number is this high, but only four percent (4%) of U.S. voters say most politicians keep their campaign promises.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 76% say the majority of politicians do not keep the promises they make on the campaign trail. Nearly one-out-of five voters (19%) aren't sure.

Maybe the four percent represent the population of America's mental hospitals.

No, these are the vaunted "independents," for whose approval today's GOP leadership would do or say just about anything.

Actually, when I was in grad school, I remember reading a study looking at political parties in America and Europe that argued quite persuasively that most parties do try to implement their party platforms when in power. The emphasis, of course, is on the word "try."
