Majority Say America Is In Decline


June 21, 2019 at 7:46 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows that Americans “have little faith the U.S. political system can address long-term challenges and are skeptical the nation remains committed to foundational tenets such as the free market, majority rule and tolerance.”

“The lukewarm assessment is marked by sharp partisan differences… But on many points, both parties hold a souring view of how the federal government is functioning. Majorities of Republicans and Democrats both say America’s best years are behind it, rather than ahead.”

I think we have nowhere to go but up - but it's our choice - and it's going to take more than
posting and hand wringing.
