Americans See Doom & Gloom in Future - Pollster: 'Malaise' follows 'precious little leadership in Washington'

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Bob Unruh * WND

Editor’s note: This is another in a series of “WND/WENZEL POLLS” conducted exclusively for WND by the public-opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.

Nearly half of Americans believe the next generation will be worse off than the current one, according to a new poll.

Just 52 percent think America’s best days are still ahead of it, while 48 percent said they think the best days of our nation are gone, the WND poll by Wenzel Strategies found.

“This is likely a function of the on-going economic malaise in the country and a reflection of the fact that there is precious little leadership in Washington to solve nagging problems in the nation,” said pollster Fritz Wenzel.

The telephone survey was conducted from April 25-29 and has a margin of error of 3.03 percentage points.

The poll found that just 51 percent of Americans believe their own life is better than their parents.

“The survey makes it clear the Americans believe we have hit the pinnacle during their lifetime, and that the lives the next generation will lead will be worse. While 51 percent said they believe their life is better than that of their parents, just 30 percent said they think the lives of the next generation will be better,” Wenzel said.

“It is hard to find much good news in these data, but it is not surprising, given the current state of affairs of American life. News reports of record numbers of citizens on government welfare programs, a national debt that grows by billions every day, and no hope that there will be any serious improvement,” Wenzel said.

      The USA has had many lousy president’s before… and survived folks. Yes, the problem is corrupt leadership… but guess what? The BIGGER problem is… WE VOTED TO PUT THESE CORRUPT LEADERS IN WASHINGTON D.C…. so, stop your whining… you are getting what you wanted… change.
      Folks, we can no longer afford to care about Democrats or Republicans… BOTH ARE EQUALLY CROOKED THIEVES. They are both sides of the same dagger killing our economy, jobs, growth, personal finances, dumbing down & instilling fear at our schools… and in our streets. You wanted Change… you got it.
      Neither side represents U.S. anymore… but somebody else as well as their own interests… just follow the money. With all the trillions spent in the last 13 years, how many brand new cities could have been built… like in China? Yet, cities like Detroit, St. Louis, Youngstown, Cleveland…etc continue to rot.
      YOUR FUTURE IS NOW… we turned our backs on God, Freedom, Marriage, Education, Morals, Good Taste, Positivity, Creativity and all those wonderful “Intangibles” that made the USA the envy of the world. WE MUST RESIST ALL FORMS OF EVIL OUT TO DESTROY ALL THAT IS STILL GOOD IN OUR COUNTRY… We must protect the right to defend ourselves… evil won’t listen to whiners… but they sure will listen to an armed indivdual…very, very carefully… and they hate that. AND THAT’S GOOD…
      If we continue to embrace dark, evil changes that transcend government and embrace them and pet them… WE DESERVE TO BE BITTEN. You cannot have evil and moral, just civility any more than you can blend water & oil. Evil & Darkness are like a blazing wildfire… it kills and destroys everything. All you can do is take cover and let it burn itself out… and start over.
