Many respondents believe the US economy is already in dire straits, the poll found

More than four in 10 Americans believe the country is heading toward a complete economic meltdown within the next decade, according to a new poll.

The survey, released by YouGov on Wednesday, shows Americans are more worried about the economy than potential threats to the democratic system or the prospect of civil war.

42% of respondents said it is very or somewhat likely that there will be “a total economic collapse” in the next 10 years, while a smaller share, 38%, described this outcome as unlikely.

Financial anxiety ran much higher among Democrats, 53% of whom feared an economic breakdown, compared with just 28% of Republicans.

    No, that’s not how they did it. They only had to change one race in only seven swing states, and he won all of them, a statistical impossibility. In those states, there were MILLIONS of straight Democratic ballots, with Trump at the top. Who does that? Have you EVER met anyone who votes that way? Have you ever seen anyone claim to vote that way on TV? If those people really existed, wouldn’t EVERY news org want to put together a panel of those voters and question them? Where are those people?

    I’ll tell you where they aren’t - in non-swing states. Those states had none of those ballots, they were all concentrated in the Swing States.

    At the very least, it should have been investigated, but the minute Election Day was over, the Manchurian MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries declared Trump’s win “fair & square.” That would make it the first time in his life that he didn’t cheat, and it stretches all plausibility that the ONE time he didn’t cheat, and played it “fair & square,” is the one race he needed to win to keep from going to prison for the rest of his life. THAT’S the one he decided NOT to cheat on?

    C’mon, wake up your Critical Thinking Skills, and ask yourself if ANY of this makes sense.

      I want to believe you, but I’m going to need sources for those claims about swing state vs non-swing state voters with straight ticket voting save for the presidency.

        I wouldn’t have been surprised if he won a few swing states, especially in states like this, with a big Muslim population who was angry at Biden for not condemning Israel Gaza Genocide. But all of them? Impossible.

        So Trump lied to them, and the believed him, so they got Trump, and he proceeded to help Israel finish destroying Gaza, and has now unleashed WW3 in the Middle East. And whether they voted for him or not, he’ll eventually send them all the Camps.

          The problem is nobody actually cares. A small handful of community leaders so an opportunity to make some money, (maybe even money that could be used to help the people of the community), so they make a deal with trump to help him win.

          Yes, he also had musk and ellison and thiel hacking election computers as well.

          But every single time someone shakes hands with trump, they sre shaking hands with the most famous child rapist in the world and they dont care because theyre hoping to make some money.

          Every world leader needs to call him out, Japanese PM should have said obviously we can’t work with this racist child abuser, as should have Mark Carney and Keir Starmer and Merz and Macron et al et al et al

          Like idk what we’re doing as homo sapiens
