  1. Honestly, these days I take any poll like this as a positive. Usually over 30 percent pick the dumb option. 29 percent is a much better number.

    The United States is out of control, according to 71 percent of those polled in a new national Economist/YouGov survey. Just 18 percent of respondents said the country was “under control,” while 11 percent said they were not sure. 

    The data showed that the out-of-control sentiment cut across most demographic groups: 70 percent of white respondents, 79 percent of Black respondents and 70 percent of Hispanic respondents said things were out of control, while 70 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds and 74 percent of those 65 and older agreed.

    The poll, conducted January 16 to 19 among 1,722 U.S. adult citizens via web-based interviews, was weighted to national benchmarks and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

    Even among Republicans, the numbers were not positive for Trump, with 50 percent saying the country was out of control, 38 percent saying it was under control and 13 percent saying they were not sure.

    77 millions of Americans did vote for him. Hope many of them have learned their lesson now. 
    But they were stupid af because every moral human being knew how Trump would behave.

    Thanks for voting for this maga.

    And nonvoters, thanks for sitting in apathy while this happened

  5. Fully a third of the country is cool with it though? Face it we have a serious problem and it is not Trump he’s just the end result.

  6. Respectfully, what the fuck did you expect?

    But just think about how less in control we would be if it were that lady that laughed kinda weird /s

  7. It’s under republican control. This is what they want – we’re turning into an oligarchy modeled after Russia.

  8. The problem is how many of those people think its because Trump isnt doing *enough* rather than him doing too much

  9. 71% of Americans huh? Good thing you only need 66% of senators to remove a president.

    71% of Americans are represented by at least 66% of senators, right? There’s not any wacky nonsense like half the senators only representing like 10% of the population right?

    Right?

  10. The question is, of the 50% of republicans that said they thought the county was out of control under Trump, how gave have that answer because they think the administration hasn’t done enough to protect rich white men?

  11. Yeah but kamala didn’t tick every single one of my 10000 page checklist so I didn’t vote.

    When was the last time you tried to discuss politics with a Republican? It’s a waste of time. they’re too far gone. Critical thinking skills have been brainwashed out of them! Its like arguing with a fly. Everyone knows that honey is sweeter than shit , except the fly , the stronger the odor the better.

  13. It’s always ~30 percent. Every. Single. Poll. The floor is 30 percent. Roughly 100 million Americans are a lost cause, unless there’s some line for these people that Trump still hasn’t crossed.

    Really want to sit down with the Obama -> Trump -> Biden -> Trump voter and ask them what the fuck they thought was going to happen in a second term. Because this is going exactly how I expected.

    71% also know that Trump covering up and distracting us from the Epstein files is working.

  16. Reminder America voted for this. Gen Z men thought electing trump would be funny to own the libs and women, most Republicans think brown people are to blame for the economy being shit and are happy to see them disappeared, and progressives hated Harris so much they rather us slide into authoritarianism than have a less than perfect candidate and stayed home. Trump got 2 million less votes than last election and somehow Harris still lost, it was pathetic. The average American has no idea the weight of their vote. They just vote for whoever, or not vote and expect things to stay the same because they figure it doesn’t affect them. The 2024 election WAS the reset button. Now the rest of us have to deal with the consequences of this country’s selfish hateful stupidity. So any polling right now is irrelevant. That 71% was absent when it mattered.

  17. I love Reddit. I’ve been on Reddit for 16 years. This is just echo chamber bullshit he’d win tomorrow. Our country is so fucked up right now.

    Will they vote to that effect in the midterms? Because what’s at stake is the support system keeping the tyrant in power.

    We need to *overwhelmingly* vote blue. If it’s remotely close then the GOP will be able to easily fudge the numbers like they tried *at least once* before.

    Only 71%? The man is and has been clearly certifiable for a long time. People are not paying attention or in complete denial

  20. Nobody with a sane mind thinks that the country is well

    1. Gestapo in the streets
    2. Healthcare
    3. Housing
    4. Food prices
    5. Gas
    6. Poverty
    7. Roads and infrastructure
    8. International relations

    None of these things are good. We are the laughingstock of the world because of buffoon orange dictator

    If even half of those 71% recognized that the US was “out of control” even before Trump, we most likely wouldn’t be dealing with Trump now. Instead they shouted down, mocked, or at the very least just ignored the segments of American civil society that’ve been ringing the alarm bell for decades at this point.

  22. Please. NATO. Aliens. I don’t care who at this point.

    Invade us here in America and free us from this madman.
