Only 7% of polled individuals expressed enthusiasm over the state of government; 24% are “satisfied” while 36% and 29% are “dissatisfied” and “angry.”
Additional numbers regarding how Americans feel about corruption in government are also quite telling. 64% believe that the vast majority of individuals in government are corrupt. Only 25% of polled individuals stated that they view the Trump administration as “less corrupt” than previous administrations.
Partisan Divides
The findings from the Fox News poll furthermore indicate that partisan divides are alive and well. Republicans and Democrats collectively maintain very different outlooks on which issues are most important.
For the GOP, matters of concern pertain to national security, immigration, and the economy. Democrats, on the other hand, have more qualms about guns, healthcare and, of course, President Trump. Republicans are also likelier to view the economy more favorably than Democrats.
As the 2020 presidential election goes on, voters will likely continue to have issues which they view as most impactful. The Democrat Party has largely focused on presenting reforms which they believe will put voters at ease.
