The chart above is from the Pew Research Center. They questioned 2,524 adults between December 11th and 23rd of 2018, and their survey had a margin of error of 2.5 points.
The poll shows how bothered most people are about what is happening in the United States. They don't see a very bright future for the next three decades.
About 60% say the U.S. will be less important in the world in 2050. About 73% say the gap between the rich and poor will grow even larger. And about 65% say this nation will be more politically divided than it is now.
Those are not good numbers. And the reason is that the nation has no confidence in politicians to solve the nation's problems. About 48% say they are very worried about the ability of politicians to solve our problems, and another 39% say they are fairly worried. Only 10% say they are not worried.
I wish I could say these people are being too pessimistic, but frankly, I think they may be correct.
