New polling shows that partisanship in the United States has reached new heights with less than 1% of Democrats satisfied with the direction of the country under President Donald Trump compared to 76% of Republicans.
Gallup released a survey this week in which they noted they recorded their highest gap on that metric when asking whether people are happy with the current direction of the country. A total of 76% of Republicans said they are satisfied, but 0% of Democrats felt the same.
Gallup reported:
Partisanship is also at a peak on this metric, with 76% of Republicans saying they are satisfied with the direction of the country versus less than 1% of Democrats. The resulting 76-point gap is the highest Gallup has recorded on this measure, although not substantially different from a 75-point gap in May and 74 points in March and July. Before this year, the parties had differed by more than 70 points on satisfaction only once, in October 2004 before that year’s presidential election.
