Over 6 in 10 say Trump and GOP are out of touch. Even more say that about Dems.

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.

    I think the problem is the people who didn’t vote. Half of them assume Trump couldn’t be re-elected and didn’t bother, the other half simply refused to vote for a woman.

      It’s also November and only 6 in 10 say this lol.

      If this poll were done internationally in like June, you’re prob looking at 8 or 9 out of 10.

        I would hope so, but current experience in my EU isn’t that great and authoritarians are on the rise everywhere else too.
