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.

Yet, they voted for this shit...

Well, see, I thought I'd read the article and I got as far as the graph expecting to see a drop-off - what it actually shows is fewer people think things are on the wrong track than in January. As a whole they think it's getting better.

A graph of perceived pain when slowly inserting oversized pumice anal beads looks the same.

Blablabla, most Americans are undereducated fascists anyway. It's too late for that stupid country, let's focus on preventing them to destroy the entire planet with their pedo-oligarch.

They keep talking about building a wall, how about a dome? No one goes in and out and they can live out their McDonald's fuled pedo fantasies?

If most Americans feel this way, why didn't they go out and vote against it to prevent it from happening? Seems like most Americans wanted this and should shut the fuck up and spend every day enjoying the very things voted for.

I can tell ya, most folks thought it didn't matter. They gave zero fucks. I was always met with "I don't care about politics." And it's like ya? Well, politics care about you. And not in the good way.

Are these concerned Americans finally going on a General Strike?

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

yet they do nothing about it, because that would be communism.

What a fucking awful headline. Its not like the metrics flipped they stayed the same. In fact more people say we are going in the right direction. Leopards are going to feast over the next few years.

That graph is weird. It leaps years using a line that doesn't mean anything. Trump's gained almost 10 points of disapproval though but :

At the same time, even more Americans say the Democratic Party is "out of touch with the concerns of most people in the United States today" (68%) than Trump (63%) and the Republican Party (61%).
