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.

    If democrats weren’t so against our right to bear arms, more people would vote for them. I know so many people that won’t vote for them for that reason alone.

    The down votes only show ignorance to the issue. I’m not affected if we can’t buy guns, I’m pointing out hard observations.

      Democrats are agasint the 2nd Ammendment? That’s a new one.

      Democrats wanting to work within the 2nd Ammandment to regulate a “well regulated militia” is another story.

      The framing of Democrats being against the 2nd Ammendment is right wing (and the now defunct Russian fund pipeline: NRA) fear mongering.

        Tell that to all the gun nuts. That’s the first thing they bring up and there’s no reasoning with them.

        I had two people mention guns being the reason they won’t vote Democrat today since the vote is tomorrow. They all believe if democrats win, they will take away their right to buy semi automatic guns.
