Bipartisan Consensus: We’re “Falling Apart”

Not a lot of optimism concerning the health of our nation reflected in a new poll done by Axios/Ipsos and reported by the Washington Times. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.

“Fourth-fifths of Americans — both Republicans and Democrats — say America is falling apart,” Axios said in an analysis of the poll, which was conducted Monday through Wednesday. 

32% of U.S. adults “strongly agree that America is falling apart”; 41% of Republicans, 29% of independents and 29% of Democrats agree.

47% overall “somewhat agree” with the statement; 42% of Republicans, 48% of independents and 49% of Democrats agree.

Adding those overall figures together, 79% of Americans believe “falling apart” is at least a “somewhat“ realistic description of what’s happening. In round numbers, that’s 4 Americans out of 5. Bummer.
