However, 63% of the Political Class think the government has the consent of the governed, but only six percent (6%) of those with Mainstream views agree.
Bear in mind this is from a Rasmussen telephone poll wherein working folk and those not interested in prattling to strangers are not included. I am going to hazard a guess and say those non-respondents fall under "does not enjoy consent".

There's a "methodology" link on that page. A cursory glance leads me to believe non-responding folks are not counted at all.
Ridiculous. Every member of Congress was voted in by a majority of their constituents. Thus, by definition, they have the consent of the governed. This is merely a poll asking people whether they have anything to bitch about. Of course they do. It reminds me of the politics of my father. No matter who is in office, he is always a staunch supporter of the opposite party.
Math is hard. They were elected by a plurality of their constituents, Ken. Oftentimes not even a majority of the population voting in the election.
The politics of your father are more sophisticated than yours. He has evidently figured out a federal government opposed and incapable of adding to the many thousands of laws and regulations, and passing out money to wall street gambling casinos and their banker buddies is advantageous.
