Government Dysfunction Top Concern for Denver Metro Voters

In a new metro poll conducted by Ciruli Associates, government dysfunction was a top concern.  Denver area voters rated jobs and economy their number one concern, but government gridlock, corruption and extreme partisanship held second place, before the budget deficit and spending, health care and education.

With presidential approval below 50 percent and Congress below 20 percent, the 2012 political process is likely to remain volatile and the public in a surly mood.
