(CNN) As major presidential hopefuls release their fundraising numbers from the first quarter this week, recent polling finds just 1 in 5 Americans say they are satisfied with the nation's campaign finance laws. The January Gallup poll found that exactly 20% of Americans were OK with how the US handles campaign finance. Democrats tended to be less satisfied than Republicans -- 26% of Republicans said campaign finances laws are OK and 15% of Democrats agreed. It's also significant to look at who is contributing to a presidential hopeful's progress -- are they special interest organizations? These convoluted ways of ginning up money to run for office have led many Americans to be frustrated with the state of the country's campaign finance laws.
