Two-thirds of Americans say that the country is “pretty seriously off on the wrong track,” while just under a third say the country is moving in the right direction, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.

Overall, Americans seem unhappy and anxious, with a slim majority saying the economy has gotten worse since President Donald Trump took office and majorities saying that both major parties and the president are out of touch. A majority of Americans are also growing increasingly concerned over the government shutdown.

    At the same time, even more Americans say the Democratic Party is “out of touch with the concerns of most people in the United States today” (68%) than Trump (63%) and the Republican Party (61%).

    Hope people are noticing this tidbit. People don’t like Trump but they don’t like what they perceive to be the Democratic party more. If you dig into that, it’s extreme positions on things, not how corporate we are. In fact, one of the takeaways is that we should bash billionaires less in public because the average voter considers them to be successful and good for the economy.

    We gotta change gears entirely, what we’ve been doing the past 10, 20 years has been disconnecting us from voters.
