The U.S. is spinning “out of control” under President Donald Trump, a majority of Americans said in a new poll.
The latest Economist/YouGov poll showed that 71% of Americans believe that things in the country are “out of control” under Trump’s presidency. Just 18% said things were “under control” while another 11% were not sure, according to the poll.
The poll found that large shares of Democrats, independents and even Republicans criticized the current state of the country. Ninety-four percent of Democrats, 71% of independents and 50% of Republicans said the country was “out of control.”
Similarly, 61% of Americans—including 93% of Democrats, 64% of independents and 26% of Republicans—said the U.S. is off on the wrong track. Just 31% said the country was generally headed in the right direction, according to the poll.
