Poll: 80 percent of voters say things are out of control in the U.S.

Source: NBC News

WASHINGTON — Eight-in-10 voters believe that things are out of control in the United States, with majorities still concerned about the spread of the coronavirus, pessimistic about the economy returning to normal before next year and down on President Donald Trump’s ability to unite the nation.

Those are the major findings of a brand-new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll that was conducted May 28 to June 2 — during the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, as the U.S. death toll from the coronavirus surpassed 100,000 and after millions have lost their jobs.

But the survey was conducted before Friday’s surprising jobs report, which found the unemployment rate declining to 13.3 percent and the economy adding 2.5 million jobs in May.

“Out of control — that’s America in 2020,” said Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates, who helped conduct this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff and his GOP colleagues at Public Opinion Strategies.

Yes that report was indeed the sham I felt it was. Nothing EVER comes out of the most crooked administration of ALL-TIME. They arm-twist and make people bow to their will and also LIE to get what they want.

"We would never deliberately mislead the American people!"
"So...you made a mistake?"
"WE DO NOT MAKE MISTAKES."
"So...it was deliberate?"
"Of course not! We would never deliberately mislead the American people!"

'Round and 'round it goes--how it ends, nobody knows.

The economy is good, and he's doing a great job, while funneling billions to the top 1% again, and printing money up as fast as he can to artificially prop up the markets to claim falsely it's ok, when we're heading for a depression. Trumps desperate to trick people into believing this before the election, and why he put out phony jobs numbers, and virus numbers because they have to cook the books manipulating the numbers for him to claim more bs lies, just like W Bush did.
