Washington, May 30 (RHC)-- A new U.S. poll has found that Americans have little confidence in their political system, the government in general or in the two dominant political parties, with most expressing frustration and anger at the 2016 presidential campaign.

The survey conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research also reflected lack of much confidence by Americans in any branches of the U.S. government, particularly the legislative, with only four percent saying they have great deal of confidence in Congress.

According to the Associated Press, while 48 percent of those polled said they have only some confidence in congressional lawmakers, 46 percent said they have hardly any.  The survey also found that few Americans felt positive about the current presidential election process, with seven in 10 of those polled describing themselves as "frustrated" with the 2016 race for the White House.

Meanwhile, a mere 10 percent of the poll participants said they have a great deal of confidence in the overall U.S. political system.  The survey further reflected distrust of American voters in the country's two-party political system with only 13 percent saying it works fairly well, while 38 percent stating that it's seriously broken.

The poll was conducted among 1,060 American adults from May 12-15 with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percent.
