Yes. But, it is not particularly a bad thing. Interest groups form to get their view of laws, regulations and policy heard by representatives. Some have more power than others. Some are very small and single issue. This is how our government works.
Don't like it? Well, then form an interest group or Political Action Committee to lobby congress and the executive branch for a change. This is balance of power and freedom of speech in action.

I sure would like to know where they get all these so called special interest groups and people who supposedly have been polled because no one has ever asked me what I think. I don't like a bunch of people telling the American People that is how I"m thinking. It makes no since to me.

Of course they do. Always has been that way, always will be, most likely. Short of nuking all the lobbyists, all we can do is hope that both sides of an issue have fierce teams fighting for their beliefs.

More than voters do. Corporations spend big money to sway their opinion. That money goes to help campaigns and helps them get elected. Its a bigger problem then you think.
