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.

    As Avenue Q says - Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist.

    But also, I never said anything about racism. To me it seems like there is a large part of the US that is willing to give up the ideals of our country (due process, free speech, voting rights), if they can get the policies they think they want.

      True, and I was just using racism as an example. I guess I also could have just said people regularly vote against their own best interests due to lack of understanding the long-term effects.
