Americans happy with life, angry with the federal government

A poll recently done by the Associated Press-GfK has got some not so great findings for the federal government. Specifically, their reports indicate that American citizens are very happy with their friends, family and other relations, the only troubling aspect of their lives is their perception of the federal government.

AMERICANS ANGRY AT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT:

This is something backed by an official survey. Around 8 out of 10 Americans say that they are angry or discontent with the American government, and approximately the same number insists that they are happy with the lives that they are leading. Half of the GOP voters are angry; compare this with around 25 percent of the Democrats. Something maybe worth mentioning, most of these republicans support Donald Trump.

This anger is driven more by a dislike for the political system and less by political associations. The people believe that the system isn’t functioning as it should and they are very upset with both the parties equally. Some voters don’t even believe that the career politicians and the Washington insiders give their interests the top priority treatment.

Many interviews of angry voters were also shared after the surveys were made public, and the people expressed their frustrations just like they expressed their love for everything other than the government. The polls show that the Republicans that are absolutely distraught with what they are seeing don’t necessarily disapprove of Trump. There is a total of 58 percent discontented Republicans, but only 36 percent of them don’t really have praise for Trump.

While these stats and surveys don’t have any proactive repercussions, it’s believed that the federal government might take this to heart and do something good for the American people.
