Most Voters Think America’s Divisions Cannot Be Overcome, Poll Says.

[Invisibleflash]

A new Times/Siena survey shows a significant shift among voters, as their concerns about the health of the political system overtake other issues.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/us/politics/times-siena-poll-political-polarization.html

mericans have markedly less faith in the ability of the country’s political system to solve problems than they had five years ago, with a large majority now believing that the country is incapable of overcoming its deep divisions, according to a poll by The New York Times and Siena University.

Even in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, when the country was fighting over mask mandates and forced to reckon with questions about racial inequality, a majority of voters still agreed that the country was capable of solving its political problems.

Today, just 33 percent of voters feel the same.

The steep rise in pessimism reflects a striking shift in the public’s perceptions about what ails the country. After the economy, the poll found that Americans were most likely to point to problems in the political culture as the most urgent. They named polarization and the state of democracy more often than immigration, inflation or crime.

Attacks on our Constitution continue. The illegal deportation of Men and Women who engage in Pro-Palestinian protests have been blocked. Free Speech under attack. Trump wants to put U.S. Troops on the ground of U.S. Cities. This is what Authoritarianism looks like.

I'd agree. There can never be a meeting of the minds. The filthy commie dem pigs are just too extreme and sick as ****.

Ha!....We have just began to live by the feud on the vile dems.

Must be because that high road is impassable with the piles of bones of failed gop politicians.

Yes Sir, right-leaners have had a taste of dem-style revenge and we like it.

No, nothing like the pile of bricks I want to fall on their heads.

It would be akin to this, bub.

Under this administration, ICE can basically do whatever they want.

Stop lying. I may not agree with all of their tactics but if your status is not legal, there are three methods to resolve this so no one gets hurt.

Self deport.

Comply, like open the vehicle door when asked rather than waiting for them to smash the window.

Become a citizen ASAP.

Many deportees never bothered becoming a citizen when they have the chance and that's their fault.

BOTH sides need to give up their 'my way or the highway' mentality

That is patently false. We are in this mess because over the course of decades so-called conservatives caved to endless liberal demands, each one more 'progressive' and insidious than before. Remember when all degenerate queers wanted was fake marriages? Now they have men in girls locker rooms and are destroying women's opportunities.

The left never compromises.

The Homan story died because you don't want to talk about it. It's you ignoring reality.

Ignoring reality means you don't think about DoJ prosecuting Comey and going after Lisa Cook.

Ignoring reality means you can't look at the DoJ investigation into Byrd. It also means you can't think about why, if the case against him is so obvious, isn't he being prosecuted under Jeanine Pirro.

it died because it was nothing.

You mean the Byrd whitewash?

 

[Marener]

it died because it was nothing.

You mean the Byrd whitewash?

Walking off with $50k in cash is nothing?

Let’s see the video if it was nothing.

 

[martybegan]

No I agree, this is the division we have. But its all because we let the government gain too much power

The Federal Government, and many State Governments in the Blue areas.

That's the way you do it!

You pretend like it actually happened. It was an accusation that died.

He was asked and conspicuously doesn’t deny it happened. No one in the Trump administration has.

Why would he say anything if he is being accused of something without his lawyer?

The investigation is closed. He’s not accused of anything by law enforcement, and since he’s a favored member of the elite ruling class, he’s in no danger from this administration.

Any other pathetic excuses to deny reality?

A $50k bribe is chickenshit but prosecuting Comey is a top priority.

You’re such a tool.

Comey lied to congress. That will be proven at the trial.

The $50k thing has no actual evidence.
