    Poll: Americans unhappy with how presidential candidates are chosen

    Many Americans are unhappy with the way presidential candidates are chosen and have little faith in the fairness of either the Democratic or Republican system, a new poll published Tuesday by The Associated Press finds.

    According to the poll, 38 percent of Americans say they have hardly any confidence that the Democratic Party's process for selecting a presidential nominee is fair; 44 percent say the same of the Republican Party's process.

    Just 17 percent of Republicans and 31 percent of Democrats have a great deal of confidence in their own party's system being fair.
