Interesting article. It definitely shows the night and day differences between Democrats and Republicans, with Independents following in the middle. However; the entire country sees the government as the problem. Unfortunate that we have such a division of interest in our country, but most people won't compromise their value system, even if there is no "moral integrity" in their value system.

..."Most Important Problem 2001-2022 Rankings
The government category has only been unseated from the top spot in Gallup’s list once in the past five years -- in 2020, when COVID-19 surpassed it. “The government” is a broad category of dissatisfaction with the government that includes a range of responses, such as the president himself, Congress, party politics and gridlock, to name a few.
Dissatisfaction with the government did not emerge in recent history as one of the top issues facing the nation until 2012. Since 2013 -- when the government shutdown caused mentions of the government to surge -- it has been the first or second most-cited issue each year.
Annual averages for 2008 through 2012 -- during and after the Great Recession -- show that the economy was most often named as the top problem in the U.S. and that unemployment was also a dominant issue. Between 2004 and 2007, the Iraq War was viewed as the most important problem; in the early 2000s, the economy and terrorism were named most often.
Inflation had not ranked in the top four problems facing the U.S. in more than two decades, but amid the highest inflation rate since the early 1980s, it is named as a top problem this year."...

Agreed that the Government is a "broad" category, so broad that there is a branch or of government that can possibly affect every aspect of our lives. Is there any issue in society that the government doesn't try to get involved with?
