    Washington, Feb. 9 : Seventy five percent of American voters are "angry" at the Obama administration's policies, a new poll has found.

    A new Rasmussen Reports survey found that out of 1,000 voters surveyed, 75 percent said they were either "very" or "somewhat" angry with the "current policies of the federal government." Forty-five percent said they were "very" angry.

    Only 19 percent said they were "not very" or "not at all" angry with the government, while 6 percent were not sure, Politico reports.

    A whopping 60 percent agreed with the statement that "neither Republican political leaders nor Democratic political leaders have a good understanding of what is needed today."

    While Republicans surveyed were angrier than Democrats, both expressed frustration.

    Eighty-nine percent of Republicans and 61 percent of Democrats said they were angry, while 78 percent of independent voters said they were.

    More men were angry with the federal government than women, and voters who earned from 60,000 dollars to 100,000 dollars were found to be the angriest.

    In September, 66 percent of those surveyed said they were either "very" or "somewhat" angry, while in November 71 percent said they were.

    The poll has a margin of error of plus- or minus-3 percentage points.
