It's no secret that America's political system is badly broken, so ScottRasmussen.com decided to find out what voters think is wrong.
We began by exploring what voters think is needed to create and maintain a healthy political system.
Four items were deemed "Very Important" by at least 7 out of every 10 voters: freedom of speech, having political leaders who respect voters, checks and balances between branches of government and freedom of religion.
Five other items were considered Very Important by a majority of voters: freedom of the press, clear limits on what the government can do, political leaders who are willing to compromise, respect for people with fundamentally different views and limits on taxation.
By a 25% margin, voters do not believe our political leaders respect American voters.
Fifty-three percent of voters think it is somewhat likely that their own representative in Congress trades votes for cash.
The unsurprising result has been a broken political system in which political leaders do not need to respect the voters.
