If people were given a poll about corporate governance, for instance, especially post-financial crash and post-Enron and post-banker bailout, you would probably see results as bad if not worse. I would guess it may very well be worse. Unlike politicians in office, you can't vote out your damn boss. He usually kicks you to the curb instead.
