And the Republicans are making hay with another of the findings:

The sectors Americans view most negatively have all had well-publicized problems in recent years. 17% of Americans have a positive view of the federal government, the lowest of any sector tested this year, while 63% have a negative image. Only one sector, oil and gas, has a higher negative percentage, 64%. Other poorly ranked sectors include real estate, healthcare, banking, and the legal field.

Unsustainable practices and principles such as wars and pollution are bad for the image and, ultimately for prosperity, and, yes, business.
