Public Thinks Government Is Biased In Favor Of Banks

The American public thinks the Republican-led government is biased. Biased in favor of banks and against consumers. That's the opinion of a majority of 52%. And they don't like that. Only 2% thinks government should be biased in favor of banks, while 26% thinks they should favor consumers and 49% thinks neither should be favored. The public wants a government that is fair to everyone. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen as long as the Republicans are in power.
