A recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll showed the vast majority of Americans believe democracy is not working very well in what is seen as a “Divided States of America.”
The U.S. has seen several major events this past year, including violent protests over the death of George Floyd, 30 million Americans currently unemployed, and dealing with the ongoing COVID War that has destroyed businesses, lives, and livelihoods.
The poll showed about three-quarters of registered voters believe the country is headed in the wrong direction.
Only 15 percent of those polled said they believed the country’s democracy is working extremely well, according to RT.com. A lot apparently hangs in the balance before the 2020 election. About 76 percent of President Trump’s supporters reportedly said they thought a Joe Biden victory would further divide the country, and 91 percent of Biden supporters believed a Trump reelection would worsen conditions.
The poll also found that 85 percent of voters say the country is greatly divided. That number includes 88 percent of Biden supporters and 80 percent of Trump backers.
TREND FORECAST: As for post-election trauma and drama, yes, what is now being witnessed has not been seen in modern American history. Regardless who wins, a large segment of the American public will feel they, not their candidate, are the losers… and their dissent, we forecast, will be the seeds sown for a new political party.
