The 20% of them that are die-hard Republicans will never be happy with a Democrat in the White House.

Many of the apolitical have been bombarded by stories of CEO's of bailed out companies getting huge bonuses.

Even Democrats who would have rather seen the money go straight to the people(bail out Main St, not Wall St.) might respond negatively to a poll like this.

I'm surprised the number isn't higher.
