"out of control"

Headline:

68% of Americans Believe the U.S. Is “Out of Control” Under Biden

A recent YouGov/The Economist poll reveals that 68 percent of Americans believe that the United States has become “out of control” under the leadership of President Joe Biden.

The poll, conducted among 1,755 Americans from April 28 to 30, asked the respondents how they perceive “things in this country these days.” Sixty-eight percent of respondents believe that the nation is veering “out of control.” By contrast, only 16 percent view the U.S. as “under control.”

Moreover, the poll reveals that the perception of a nation spiraling out of control transcends partisan lines. A higher percentage of Democrats believe “things are out of control” (48 percent) rather than “under control” (31 percent). Meanwhile, a substantial 70 percent of Independents share the sentiment, along with nearly 90 percent of Republicans. Only 11 percent of Independents feel the country is under control. This perception is also held in high numbers across various demographic categories such as race, gender, age and income.

The poll also reveals that 66 percent of Americans feel the country is “on the wrong track,” while 21 percent believe it is “generally headed in the right direction.” Twelve percent did not offer an opinion either way.

Read the rest. Sad. A strong minority of idiots.
