Only half? There is nothing functioning properly in our Constitutional Republic.
AP-NORC poll: Nearly half of Americans say democracy isn’t functioning properly
A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that almost half of Americans think democracy isn’t functioning properly and that our country is headed in a wrong direction.[the_ad id=”110283″]
The nationwide poll, conducted Jan. 28 – Feb. 1, surveyed 1,055 adults.
Only 16% of those surveyed said democracy is working well or extremely well. Nearly half of Americans, 45%, think democracy isn’t functioning properly, while 38% say it’s working only somewhat well.
The majority of people surveyed in the poll believe our nation is deeply divided. So much so, that 62% think the country will become even more divided or stay the same over the next five years.
Story continues below advertisement49% of Americans think we are heading in the right direction, while 49% think we heading in the wrong direction.
A majority of Republicans had a positive view of the direction of the country for most of the Trump Administration. The numbers dropped over the summer and the numbers dropped even more following Joe Biden’s inauguration. Currently, only 20% of Republicans say the country is heading in the right direction, while 79% think it’s heading in wrong direction.
Overall, about two-thirds of Republicans are pessimistic about the future, while three-quarters of Democrats are optimistic. Interestingly, the public’s view of Congress has improved since the November election, according to the survey.
Democrats have favorable impressions of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Republicans do not share favorable impressions of their party’s congressional leaders. They have mixed views of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and 52% of Republicans have an unfavorable impression of Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell.

Like saying an engine that threw a rod or blew a head gasket isn’t “functioning properly.”
We know. Crazy Joe and the Ho are now in charge.

Most Americans don’t realize that America died in the early hours of November 4th, 2020 as Bolsheviks worked to overthrow our government.
We now live in Amerika. Our capital is under military occupation and the DemoNazis are passing bills to criminalize dissent.

Why do you think they need walls and thousands of storm troopers to protect them? The cowards are petrified to leave their bunkers as they know they would not survive.

There is NO DEMOCRACY when your ELECTIONS ARE RIGGED. Now, our country has DICTATORS.
TIME TO STAND UP AGAINST THESE TYRANNICAL PEOPLE, even if it means a CIVIL WAR.

Democracy only works when the citizens agree to some form of morality.
If half want families and work and the other have want to rape loot and keel for a living, it just won’t work.

As far as I am concerned, America and democracy are gone. We have only th memory and I do not know how we can get it back. Elections are a huge scam. Globalists will destroy USA completely in the next 4 years and we will be part of EU/China/Iran. I do not want it to happen. I want to impeach Bidet. I want voting mainly in person with thumb prints, NO MACHINES. and mailins only seniors, troops, and disabled with thumb print. Seriously…look at COngress?? America is GONE GONE GONE. Laws do not even apply. Constitution is not even known. And they did cheat. (the Pillow Man has to get his proof to the Supreme court for maybe some sanity ack.)

Poor old America, got a madman running the entire show name of Fauci, and his shots program. DDGo and find a picture of Dr. Kevorkian, the assisted suicide doctor back in the day, he’s a dead (pardon the pun) ringer to Fauci. Evil comes in really ugly faces. So America is in the throes of genocide with voluntary vaccines, etc. etc. Oh, and for those of you who need the truth, Trump pulled off his defeat after vociferous demands from son Barron that he’d never spend another four years in the White House! It’ll be revealed in due time, like the fact that JFK was gay and installed his lover Lem Billings in a bedroom in the White House.

It has been said and written that you need moral leaders for a democracy to function….even the founding fathers mentioned it. We don’t have that in Washington, and many cities across America.

Yeah, I’d say democracy isn’t functioning correctly when one party can cheat and no one in authority will even look at the proof of fraud.And the media not only doesn’t report on it, but actively opposes any investigation.
