Americans think it’s getting cheaper to buy a congressman or governor, according to a new poll by Rasmussen Reports.

How cheap? Thirty-five percent say the going rate is $10,000 or less. In Connecticut, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy was limited to donations of no more than $100 to qualify for public financing.
