Bankers are now even less popular than members of Congress

Politicians, lawyers and insurance salesmen now have some company in America's doghouse: A new survey finds that Wall Street bankers are among the country's least favorite people. This suggests that while financial firms may have begun to mend their bottom lines, they're a long way from rehabilitating their public image.

Two out of every three Americans hold unfavorable views of financial executives, according to a survey commissioned by Bloomberg earlier this month. And 64% said bailing them out was a bad idea.

That makes bankers less popular than members of Congress, the poll found. And that could have interesting implications as Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS) and JP Morgan Chase (JPM) prepare to hand out some $30 billion in bonuses by the end of the year.
