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.

    Maybe that third that didn’t go to vote has something to do with not presenting someone that made them vote

    Apparently voting against a bastard like Trump wasn’t enough of a motivation…

          I agree. But I understand it. Did you think in January the mountain of shit would be so high as it is now?

            Nope.

            I assumed Trump’s incompetence would slow down the pace of enshitification he was able to cause.
