Poll: Voters say W.H., Congress only out for themselves

A new poll finds a rare note of political agreement among the vast majority of Americans: They believe that Democrats and Republicans in Washington, D.C., are only out for themselves.

The NBC News/Wall Street Journal says that 89% of Americans believe that President Obama and Congress only want to stick to their partisan positions instead of working together.

That view is shared by 90% of Republican respondents, 89% of Democrats, and 85% of independents -- "so about as unanimous as you'll get on any political question," reports NBC News.

NBC adds:

"If you wanted a theme to tie together the news of the past week -- Hillary's emails, the GOP reaction to them, that Senate Republican letter to Iran's leaders, and the Democrats' furious response back -- it's this story. Americans believe politicians are looking out for their own political interest than the common interest. And they're not wrong."
