WAPo/ABC Poll: America in Decline and Getting Worse

[Weatherman2020]

Fundamentally transformed.

Two-thirds of Americans feel they have little or no influence over the actions of the federal government. Forty-five percent say the country’s greatness is ebbing. As many see voter fraud as commonplace. A third aren’t confident that votes in the presidential election will be counted fairly. And a third say people like them are treated unfairly in this country.

The results of this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, mark the extent to which underlying views of the state of the nation interact with political preferences. In some ways, a pessimists vs. optimists election.

A recent report by the Harvard School of Business as to why America's competitiveness overseas is slipping badly pins the blame squarely on the political divide within the nation. For years now, Washington has been in a perpetual stalemate and with the two candidates, Clinton and Trump, there is little hope that this stalemate will be broken. International agreements need revision, corporate taxes are a mess, immigration policy and laws need revision, and worst of all our competitors abroad see the US as a weak economic power on a downhill slide. These problems effect every American and their economic future. Until the nation addresses it's political problems, economic revival of the nation is just a pipe dream.

I saw a poll the other day where almost every single person polled said that one day we're all going to die. How depressing. Thanks Obama.

Obama is the most divisive POTUS in history.

I don't know about that besides he's history but I don't see any help from either nominee. Trump has no support from Democrats in Congress and little from Republicans. I think all that most republicans in congress want from Trump is for him to win and drop dead. Hillary is hated by the Republican controlled House and is unlikely to get anything passed. If there was a chance of a third party winning, I would certainly consider them.
