Two-thirds of Americans say that the country is "pretty seriously off on the wrong track," while just under a third say the country is moving in the right direction, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel.

Overall, Americans seem unhappy and anxious, with a slim majority saying the economy has gotten worse since President Donald Trump took office and majorities saying that both major parties and the president are out of touch. A majority of Americans are also growing increasingly concerned over the government shutdown.

The entire premise of his comment is that no action has been taken as of the poll's release.

This recent poll, obviously, does not represent opinion going back to 2016. Trump is president because a lot of stupid people either voted for or refused to vote against him.

Acting like anything can be done instantaneously as a result of a poll proves that it's not only Americans that have their share of stupid people.
