37% Say Zombies Would Do Better Job Than Federal Gov't, 37% Opt for Feds

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.

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.

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.

By and large, I've found that they're rotten at higher economic theories, but pretty good at negotiations with republicans. I'm willing to give it a try, if the Democrats can find some willing zombies that aren't trying to eat the brains of the electorate.

1. Probably because its' Halloween, I'm sure if this poll had taken place in July

only 34% would've voted for Zombies.

Thanks for the thread, Buns_of_Fire.

3. You're welcome. Back in July, I probably would've limited my zombie support

to state and local offices, too. Even at that, I'm not completely convinced that we haven't elected a few already.

2. Personally, I feel our next election should be full of candidates

randomly chosen out of a phone book.

At least we will suddenly have a use for those damn things again.

4. I think they already tried that in Louie Gohmert's district.

That's the only explanation I can see.
