The percentage of Americans who believe the government is broken has increased by eight points since 2006.
“That increase is highest among higher-income Americans and people who live in rural areas,” said Keating Holland, CNN polling director. “Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but those are the groups that make up the bulk of the Tea Party activists today.”
