A recent Fox News poll reveals that voters are unhappy and want major change, with 4 in 10 voters seeking “dramatic” or “revolutionary” change. The poll also shows that President Donald Trump’s job approval remains near a record low, and more Democrats are motivated to vote than Republicans.
Economic Pessimism
The poll found that three-quarters of voters rate the economy negatively, and 54% expect the economy to worsen in the coming year. Additionally, 70% of voters say the Republican Party is closely tied to elite interests, while 55% say the same about the Democratic Party.
Voters are also dissatisfied with the current state of politics, with 48% of Democrats and 41% of Republicans saying they feel betrayed by their party. Many voters want to see new blood in office, with 85% supporting a mandatory retirement age for members of Congress.
Policy Preferences
The poll found that voters prefer Democrats to handle issues such as income inequality, healthcare, and the economy. However, Republicans hold an advantage on issues like crime and national security. The poll also found that voters are increasingly skeptical of capitalism, with only 50% having a positive view of it.
