Americans are extremely skeptical that any presidential candidate will listen to voters over money

Only 11 percent of likely voters pick themselves as presidential candidates' top influence.

A new Rasmussen poll asked respondents to choose between high-dollar donors, Republican and Democratic leadership, and the voting public as the group to which candidates pay most attention. Some 61 percent named donors as the most influential group, while two in 10 picked party leadership and one in 10 selected ordinary voters.

The same survey reveals that half of likely voters believe it is impossible "to run for president in today’s world without having ties to any lobbyists and special interest groups," while another poll released Tuesday found a majority of Americans are unhappy with the selection of viable 2016 candidates.
