Mod: There are the usual things in the new NBC/WSJ Poll. Trump's numbers still suck being one of them. But there is something almost everyone agrees on. Bunker Boy has led us into chaos.
Poll: 80 percent of voters say things are out of control in the U.S. (
NBC Newslink): Eight out of 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 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.
“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. “[It’s] one of the few things
Americans can agree upon, and the one finding that we can definitively state given the tumult and torment of the past 12 days,”
Horwitt added.
According to the poll, 80 percent of registered voters say they feel that things are generally out of control in the country, versus 15 percent who believe that things are under control. That includes 92 percent of
Democrats, 78 percent of independents and even 66 percent of
Republicans who think things are out of control.
Voters by a more than 2-to-1 margin say they’re more worried about the death of
George Floyd, an
African American man who was killed in
Minneapolis after a police officer put a knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes, and the actions of police, than they are by recent protests that have occasionally turned violent. Fifty-nine percent of all voters — including 54 percent of whites, 65 percent of
Latinos and 78 percent of
African Americans— say they’re more troubled by
Floyd’s death and the actions of police.
