10-14-03 Poll: U.S. discontent increasing

by systemfailure Thursday, Oct. 16, 2003 at 7:06 AM

Solid majorities of Americans support changes in the nation's political system, want the power to recall elected officials and are angry about the way some things are going in this country

A week after California voters ousted a governor, a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll found an electorate nationwide that shares some of the discontent that fueled Arnold Schwarzenegger's election there.

The unease that voters express now is at almost precisely the same overall level that a similar survey found in January 1992. That was the start of a campaign that ousted the first President Bush and gave third-party contender Ross Perot 19% of the vote.



But that frustration isn't focused on the current President Bush or other elected officials, at least not yet. Bush scored a healthy job-approval rating of 56%, up from its low point of 50% last month.



"There is a general feeling that things aren't going right, but I'm not sure that people can quite put their finger on the cause," says Dan Glickman, director of Harvard's Institute of Politics. He is a former Democratic congressman and Cabinet secretary. He called anxiety over the economy and the war in Iraq "the recipe for the pot boiling over and taking it out on somebody, and the obvious person to take it out on is the president."

Matthew Dowd, a senior strategist for Bush's re-election campaign, disputes any comparison with the California race. "It's not an anger; it's just concern," he says. He notes that Americans nationwide continue to have high regard for Bush's leadership.

In the poll:

**Asked about the way things were going in the country, 59% said they were "angry about something" and 39% said they were generally content.



**Support for unspecified changes in the political system was strong: 17% in favor of a "complete overhaul" and another 33% backing major reforms. Just one in 10 said no reform was necessary.



**Four in 10 said a third major political party was needed.



**The close divide that marked the 2000 election hasn't changed. In the poll, 38% of registered voters said they definitely would vote for Bush and 38% said they would definitely vote against him. In the middle: 24% who haven't decided.

Guerrilla radio

by Rage against the Machine Thursday, Oct. 16, 2003 at 7:12 AM



Transmission third world war third round

A decade of the weapon of sound above ground

No shelter if youre looking for shade

I lick shots at the brutal charade

As the polls close like a casket

On truth devoured

Silent play in the shadow of power

A spectacle monopolized

The cameras eyes on choice disguised

Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?

Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?

Yes a spectacle monopolized

They hold the reins, stole your eyes

All the fistagons the bullets and bombs

Who stuff the banks

Who staff the party ranks

More for Gore or the son of a drug lord

None of the above fuck it cut the cord

Lights out guerilla Radio

Turn that shit up

Contact I highjacked the frequencies

Blockin the beltway

Move on DC

Way past the days of bombin MCs

Sound off Mumia guan be free

Who gottem yo check the federal file

All you pen devils know the trial was vile

Army of pigs try to silence my style

Off em all out that box its my radio dial



Lights out guerilla Radio

Turn that shit up







It has to start somewhere

It has to start sometime

What better place than here

What better time than nowAll hell cant stop us now

All hell cant stop us nowAll hell cant stop us now

All hell cant stop us now

All hell cant stop us now

All hell cant stop us now
