Majority Of Americans Shift From Optimistic To Pessimistic About Direction Of Country: Mainstream Poll
DAILY WIRE ^ | 7/25/2021 | RYAN SAAVEDRA

According to a new poll, the majority of Americans are pessimistic about the direction of the country at the sixth month mark of the Biden administration, a dramatic shift from the last time that the survey polled respondents on the matter.

“A majority — 55% — of the public say they are pessimistic about the direction of the country, a marked change from the roughly one-third (36%) that said the same in an ABC News/Ipsos poll published May 2,” ABC News reported. “In the early May survey, Americans were more optimistic than pessimistic by a 28-percentage point margin. Optimism is now under water by 10 points. Looking ahead to the next 12 months, fewer than half — 45% — now report feeling optimistic about the way things are going, a significant drop from about two-thirds (64%) in the May poll.”

Other negative findings from the poll:

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden is handling immigration and the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border? Approve 37. Disapprove 61.

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden is handling gun violence? Approve 37. Disapprove 61. Do you approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden is handling crime? Approve 39. Disapprove 58.

Another mainstream poll, Gallup, released new numbers late last week that also showed that Biden was headed in the wrong direction as he scored the lowest numbers yet of his presidency in the left-wing poll.

Gallup reported:

Biden’s latest job approval rating of 50% is down from 56% in June. Before this month, his ratings had not shown meaningful variation during his time in office, and the current figure marks the lowest measured for him to date.

By this time next year, there will be food shortages, bank runs, and open violence in the street.

My surveys were polling me constantly during Trump. They stopped during biden. I can’t remember the last time I got political surveys. They are obsessed with, “Will you get the covid vaccine?” right now.

The way things are going I have to agree with you. With crooked and corrupt politicians running this country I don’t see much hope, neither is a quick turn around possible.

Really am not sure how any thinking person could be optimistic about the state of America these daze.

For a long time, I thought the last two year of the Carter Administration (79-80) were a low point in our history. However, from the vantage point of 2021, those years seem like a birthday present.

Back then, people were still sane and our institutions were still fundamentally sound. For all Carter’s flaws, he still tried to follow the law. The Dems in power now could not care less about the law. And most of them have lost their collective minds.

"“By tomorrow this will be reframes by NBC, et. al. to Optimism less high but plenty of Americans still optimistic.”

" This will be the catch phrase tomorrow all across MSM’s noise. Without any genuine, unique rhetoric: Just reading from some mindless script.

By a bubblehead with too much makeup on, and false hairpieces. Optimism, redundant, but does NBC/MSMBC/et all care? No, because their viewers are witless and they know that. Spoon feed the idiots.

Maybe Biden will tell the media the type diapers he wears next.

You’d have to be deaf, dumb and blind to be optimistic of these misfits running this government. Sultans of sham!

In true fair election, no chance for Biden or democrats. But they have a fix in in 2020. They will use it again
