Poll: Most say this is lowest point they can remember for US

Source: The Hill

A recent poll published by the American Psychological Association finds 59 percent of Americans surveyed think this is the lowest point in the nation's history that they can remember.

A slightly larger percentage, 63 percent, say they are stressed about the nation's future, according to the poll. Nearly three-quarters of Democrats, 73 percent, say they are stressed about the future of the nation, compared to 56 percent of Republicans and 59 percent of independents.

Forty-three percent of those surveyed said they were stressed about health care, 35 percent said they were stressed about the economy and 32 percent listed trust in the government as a cause of stress.

and every single Repub administration has caused me nothing but misery. This is the worst though. Their theme is "when you think we can't go lower, we do".

Psychiatrists must be getting a kick back from the GOP for all the anti depression/anxiety patients they have added to their patient files.
