Two-thirds of Americans say that the country is "pretty seriously off on the wrong track," while just under a third say the country is moving in the right direction, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel.

Overall, Americans seem unhappy and anxious, with a slim majority saying the economy has gotten worse since President Donald Trump took office and majorities saying that both major parties and the president are out of touch. A majority of Americans are also growing increasingly concerned over the government shutdown.

What a fucking awful headline. Its not like the metrics flipped they stayed the same. In fact more people say we are going in the right direction. Leopards are going to feast over the next few years.

    That graph is weird. It leaps years using a line that doesn't mean anything. Trump's gained almost 10 points of disapproval though but :

    At the same time, even more Americans say the Democratic Party is "out of touch with the concerns of most people in the United States today" (68%) than Trump (63%) and the Republican Party (61%).
