Americans aren’t happy about their
politicians, the future, the economy, and just about everything else,
according to the nation’s pollsters, who say there is very little the
public still believes in.
“With an ‘everything is terrible’ mindset, I’m mostly thinking about how after several years of cantankerous and unproductive lawmaking in Washington, there are very few political figures or institutions who the public trusts anymore,” the Washington Post’s polling analyst Scott Clement told Politico.
The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows President Barack Obama’s approval ratings are at a record low. A new Gallup Poll shows confidence in the economy is dropping. And overall, poll ratings for Republicans and Democrats are down, according to a CBS Poll.

And the numbers could mean some odd
results in November, with people heading into the midterm elections
pessimistic about candidates on both sides of the ballot.
“What we’re really seeing in an unprecedented way, especially in the key Senate races, is that voters don’t like either of the major candidates,” said Tom Jensen, the director of the liberal Public Policy Polling.
