Interesting Survey

The poll on Kare 11 website found:

34 percent said corruption in government will always be a problem so trying to fix it won't make much difference.

45 percent said money's influence in government is so pervasive it's pointless to try to reduce it.

71 percent believe elected officials won't keep their promises unless the influence of money in politics is limited.

62 percent thought candidates that could represent them don't have enough money to win election.

When asked what they're "extremely concerned" about from a list of issues, 59 percent said gas prices; 38 percent said money in state politics; and 36 percent said state government corruption.

74 percent cited honesty as the most important value they want to see in state government.
