Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

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.

Well, see, I thought I'd read the article and I got as far as the graph expecting to see a drop-off - what it actually shows is fewer people think things are on the wrong track than in January. As a whole they think it's getting better.

A graph of perceived pain when slowly inserting oversized pumice anal beads looks the same.

Blablabla, most Americans are undereducated fascists anyway. It's too late for that stupid country, let's focus on preventing them to destroy the entire planet with their pedo-oligarch.

They keep talking about building a wall, how about a dome? No one goes in and out and they can live out their McDonald's fuled pedo fantasies?

If most Americans feel this way, why didn't they go out and vote against it to prevent it from happening? Seems like most Americans wanted this and should shut the fuck up and spend every day enjoying the very things voted for.

I can tell ya, most folks thought it didn't matter. They gave zero fucks. I was always met with "I don't care about politics." And it's like ya? Well, politics care about you. And not in the good way.

Are these concerned Americans finally going on a General Strike?

[–] Catma@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 child)

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%).
