Poll: Gummint is #1 problem

Americans say their own government was the nation’s biggest problem in 2015, according to Gallup, though the number giving that response has dropped slightly. About 16 percent say some aspect of government — including President Obama, Congress and partisanship — was the nation's biggest problem last year, according to a Gallup survey. That's slightly less than the 18 percent that offered a similar response in 2014. The economy was the second biggest problem, at 13 percent, followed by a tie between immigration and unemployment, with 8 percent each/The Hill. More here.

Question: Would you list our government as the nation's biggest problem for 2015?
