Rasmussen reports a good deal of disenchantment in the land and finds that 88% of “Mainstream Voters” are angry — only the members of the Political Class are relatively content:

Eighty-nine percent (89%) of Republicans are angry with the government’s current policies…78% of voters not affiliated with either major party agree. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Democrats share that anger, but Republicans are three times as likely as Democrats to be Very Angry.

The divide between the Political Class and Mainstream voters, however, is remarkable. Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Mainstream voters are angry, but 84% of the Political Class are not…68% of Mainstream voters don’t think the leaders of either major political party have a good understanding of what the country needs today. Sixty-one percent (61%) of the Political Class disagree.

Let’s do the math. 88% of Mainstram Voters are angry, and they represent 81% of likely voters. So over 70% of likely voters are in a snit. It doesn’t look like a good year to be an incumbent, particularly an incumbent who refuses to listen.
