A staggering 83% of Americans think the U.S. has gone off the rails amid record high inflation, shortages of baby formula, sky-high gas prices and mass shootings, a sobering new survey released Tuesday reveals.
The foul mood of Americans is an ominous sign for President Biden and Democrats as the congressional midterm elections approach, according to the poll.
The low confidence rate in the state of the nation represents a considerable 6 point decline from last month and is the worst measure since the U.S. Capitol riot in January 2021.
Now, only about one-quarter of Democrats are content with U.S. affairs - the lowest point of Biden's presidency.
The survey of 1,007 adults was conducted from May 2 to 22 as inflation remained at its highest point in 40 years, amid skyrocketing gas and food prices, a baby formula shortage and a racially motivated shooting in Buffalo that killed 10 people, Gallup analysts said.
"The president's job approval has not risen above 43%, nor fallen below 40%, since last August. He has not enjoyed majority-level approval since last June," Gallup noted in its analysis of the results.
"With less than six months to go before the midterm elections, the public's mood is sour, with few Americans satisfied with the direction of the country and approving of Congress, making the Democratic congressional majority extremely vulnerable," Gallup said.
