For those still scratching their heads over billionaire Donald Trump’s meteoric rise in the Republican presidential campaign and why he’s doing so much better than more experienced, established political rivals, there are two new polls out that put the Trump phenomenon in stark relief . Only 2 percent of voters trust government “almost all the time,” while 13 percent trust government “most of the time.” For the remainder of the electorate, confidence in their government ranges from occasional to “hardly ever.” . The other poll, conducted by the Rasmussen Group, shows that an overwhelming number of Americans agree with Trump that the country has become too “politically correct” and should accept more honest – and frequently brutal – characterizations of America’s social, political and economic condition. The survey of 1,000 adults found that 71 percent believe that political correctness is a problem in the U.S., while only 18 percent disagree. Less than six months before the Iowa caucuses and the official start of the presidential election campaign, Trump, has upended presidential campaigning norms and rules of engagement. He has launched blistering or insulting denunciations of his Republican and Democratic opponents; he has relentlessly attacked illegal immigrants, Mexico and China; and he frequently makes outrageous, personally offensive comments belittling the media and political figures alike.
