No doubt,but the fact that they don't include a whole lot of public opinion is used to illustrate just how little the public matters to them. It's like it doesn't enter into any conversation they have,or any decision they make because despite their positions as people elected to best serve the public they only care about themselves. The absence of that is part of character development.

A few thoughts after finishing season 5 (spoilers, obviously):
1. I have no real desire to watch this show anymore. If the next season is the last, I will watch it just to see Claire's well deserved fall. If they plan to have multiple more seasons, I don't think I'm going to bother unless the reception is far better. I'm okay waiting a few days to see if it's worth continuing next time.
2. Does the show we're buying Claire? Her presidency is laughable in every sense. Everyone hated the idea of her as ambassador, and now we're supposed to buy her as President?
3. Enough focusing on the personal lives of characters we don't care about. Especially since you're just going to go ahead and kill them all, anyways.
4. What a stupid plan it was to push Cathy down the stairs. It worked out because the show needed it to, and that's it.
5. The show ended us about to go to war. Based on the fact that the current Commander-in-chief is completely unfit for the job, will undoubtedly be facing crisis after crisis on the home front, and doesn't give a frick about the country, I almost expect this to end with Russian and Chinese troops marching to Washington.
6. I'm trying to think what would be the most satisfying way to see Claire fall. I think I would enjoy seeing Claire continue to manipulate people and cling to power at the expense of the country, only to see her lose the next election 538-0.
