OSU Cascades Political Science Professor Jim Foster says elected leaders are getting the message loud and clear.

"What it adds up to is an unhappy and anxious electorate.  And unfortuanely ther'es no institutional way to deal with it.  If you think a REpbulican laed congress is goign to get anything done between now and 2016, I have a bridge i wnat to sell you."

Foster says there's a lot of anger about our tepid economic recovery and other issues like Isis and ebola that are contibiuting to our dissatisfaction with our poltiical leaders.
