Doen't look like the survey means much, if anything, except to publish it in a newspaper to sell newspapers. 

Even so, the "Power" category looks to be about right.  The USA is number one in power both here and abroad.  The Fed's are always telling us what to do and as well as ruling the world too.  Don't understand why patriots in America would praise the central government or even local governments.  It ought to be well understood that socialism is un-American but that's not gonna happen.

Just said more than I intended but looks to me like the government is now more than the Founders ever intended - after all, they kicked out the British for a lot less than we're putting up with now.  British = Republicans and Obama
