71% of Americans unhappy with country’s direction

Seventy-one percent of American voters say they are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the nation today, according to a newQuinnipiac University national poll released Monday.

The Quinnipiac poll found that the country is split on which party they want to win control of Congress in 2016, but it’s clear that voters are dissatisfied with lawmakers now in office. Just 2 percent said they are “enthusiastic” about the federal government, and 21 percent said they are “satisfied but not enthusiastic”.

He added, “More than 25 percent of voters go beyond dissatisfaction to anger with government”.

Only two percent of the voters said they are “very satisfied, and 26 percent said they are “somewhat satisfied”. A majority said they could trust the federal government “some of the time”.

51 percent said they sometimes trust the government, while 34 percent said they “hardly ever” do. Democrats did slightly better, with 27 percent approval and 66 percent disapproval. The party overall drew 40 percent approval and 50 percent disapproval.

Americans name the economy in general, dissatisfaction with the government and unemployment or jobs as the most important problems facing the country and the main reasons for their lack of satisfaction.

Americans are dissatisfied, angry, and distrustful, according to a new poll.

The survey quantified some of the frustration that has been echoed on the campaign trail this summer, with voters flocking toward the campaigns of Republican candidates like Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson, who have never been elected before, and Democratic Sen.

The pollsters also asked opinions on a few hotly debated issues such as abortion and federal spending. Twenty-three percent said abortion should be legal in all cases, while 33 percent said it should be legal in most cases.

To conduct the study, the university surveyed 1,563 registered voters nationwide through live interviewers between August. 20 and 25.
