82% of Americans Agree Founding Fathers Would be Unhappy With Feds

As Independence Day approaches, most Americans think the Founding Fathers would have had a sad celebration this year.

A Fox News poll asks voters what the Founding Fathers would think of Washington these days: Fully 82 percent think they would be unhappy with how things are going there.

That includes 96 percent of those who identify with the Tea Party movement, 95 percent of Republicans, 88 percent of independents and 68 percent of Democrats.

Democrats (23 percent) are about six times as likely as Republicans (4 percent) to think the Founding Fathers would be pleased.

Meanwhile, more than three-quarters of voters (77 percent) believe the United States would be a better country if we followed the ideas of the Founding Fathers and the Constitution more closely.
