Poll: 80% think federal government is broken

? An overwhelming majority of Americans think their federal government is gridlocked by partisan infighting and turf battles and can’t accomplish anything, according to a new McClatchy-Ipsos poll.

Yet the anger and frustration with Washington aren’t directed solely at either party and don’t automatically add up to a tidal wave against the governing Democrats in this year’s elections for control of Congress, the poll suggested.

In fact, Americans tilt slightly against Republicans as to which party they blame more. They also give a 10-point edge to Democrats when they’re asked which party they’d vote for if the congressional elections were today.
