Hold the celebration. Most voters expected Republicans to win control of the House of Representatives on Election Day, but nearly as many expect to be disappointed with how they perform by the time the 2012 elections roll around.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds, in fact, that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters think it is at least somewhat likely that most voters will be disappointed with Republicans in Congress before the next national elections. That includes 38% who say it is Very Likely.
In other words, people know the system is screwed. Now does this mean the Democrats will regain control of the House in 2012? I don’t know, but even more interesting is if we are in an age that parts of the government will change control every two years. If so, then it seems like America is in for a generation of disappointment.
