60% Say Federal Government Does Not Have the Consent of the Governed - Rasmussen Reports

 "One of the central tenets of the Declaration of Independence is that “governments derive their only just powers from the consent of the governed,” but just 25% of Likely U.S. Voters think the federal government today has that consent. " 

Since only 50% of registered voters vote, then some of those 75% that don't believe the federal government has consent are giving their consent by voting.
