It's confirmed. We are in the majority, the vast majority.

Overall, 87 percent are dissatisfied with the direction of the United States. The American people are instead saying they are “angry” (71%) and “fearful” (66%) about the state of the nation.

According to a devastating new poll from Pew Research Center, just 17 percent of Americans are proud of their country under the failed leadership of Trump.

MAGA too has been a tRump failure.

Crush him and the rethuglicans, never let up until November 3rd.

We need to destroy the republican party so that they never come back again. Regardless of what the polls say, we just keep hitting them as hard as we can.

Never. Stop. Fighting. Crush. Them. Completely.

According to the article, Real Clear Politics shows an approximate 10 point lead by Biden. So, we know at least that many prefer Biden’s vision for the US. I wish the poll had asked follow ups getting an idea for the reason for anger and fear.

We have to admit that in this country some portion of those people are reacting to the protests, defunding police and the violence shown in news sources. Even Trump supporters might give those answers to the question of direction of state of the nation, while blaming progressives, socialists, ANTIFA. minorities whoever. It will be at least some portion of the 43 - 44% that still support Trump. Final number that lays their feelings at the feet of Trump is higher than Biden’s current 54 - 55% but less than the poll number of angry and fearful. So let’s not let these poll numbers excite us too much or any complacency ithey may engender.

The responses don’t mean that everyone agrees with us. I have no doubt that the people who hate the protestors and have been fed a steady diet of right wing news about Antifa taking over the streets would answer thusly.

Indeed I bet there are plenty of supporters of the confederacy that are pretty dismayed about what has happened in NASCAR and Mississippi

And probably the moderates pissed off at the partisanship.

What it really says is we are a badly divided people.

The numbers will only get a lot worse for them. This is going to be the biggest landslide this country has ever seen, and from the American people holding them accountable , when they refused to do. It could be decades before these people get into office and have control again. This will not be forgotten what they've done to us.
