Current government treatment of finance and big business (and free trade, and neo-liberal policies generally) is pretty unpopular among voters for either major party. Whole thing's regarded as a bunch of self-serving bullshit for the ultra-rich and the wannabe-ultra-rich, of zero or negative value to normal folks (I'm not claiming that's correct, mind you).
It's one place where there's a huge gap between the average voter and either major US party's platform, and certainly between the average voter and actual laws & enforcement. It's why a certain lately-prominent political figure made the tactical decision to ignore their party's platform and court voters directly—and it worked.
