Tired of the shitshow? Republicans think it's just wonderful.

Republicans' satisfaction with the direction of the U.S. is at its highest point since 2007, according to a new poll.

A Gallup poll finds that 61 percent of Republicans are satisfied with the direction of the country.

About one in four Republicans say they are very satisfied, and 36 percent who say they are somewhat satisfied.

Nearly one-quarter of Republicans say they are somewhat dissatisfied with the direction of the country and 15 percent say they are very dissatisfied, however.

Just 7 percent of Democrats in the new say they are satisfied with the country's direction. Sixty-eight percent say they are very dissatisfied and another 25 percent say they are somewhat dissatisfied.

Among all Americans, 29 percent are satisfied with the direction of the country and 69 percent are dissatisfied.

Those identifying as republican dropped from 42% to 37% from 11/16 to 11/17. That’s a 12% drop.

It stands to reason that those who choose to stay are happy with Donnie and the party.

It’s horrible that so many are fine with it, but it makes sense.
