Rasmussen Reports tracks the gap between what it labels "Mainstream Voters" and the "Political Class." According to the "Wall Street Journal", "To figure out where people are, he asks three questions: Whose judgment do you trust more: that of the American people or America's political leaders? Has the federal government become its own special interest group? Do government and big business often work together in ways that hurt consumers and investors? Those who identify with the government on two or more questions are defined as the political class."
