A new CBS News-YouGov poll found that 79 percent of likely voters believe the country is “out of control” in the lead-up to the midterms and only 21 percent believe the US is “under control.”
According to CBS News, “That doesn’t bode well for the party in power: Republicans are winning those who say ‘out of control’ right now by more than 20 points.”
The new poll reflects recent polls reflecting how Americans are concerned about the state of the country. An August a Fox News poll found that 75 percent of Americans are not happy with the country’s direction under President Joe Biden. In April, another Fox News poll had only 2 in 10 Americans thinking that the country was going in the right direction.
In May, the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Research found the same numbers as only about two in ten adults believed America was heading in the right direction or that the economy was in a good condition.
In July, a New York Times/Siena College poll reflected the same outcome as 75 percent of Americans believed the country is headed in the wrong direction. The Times wrote that the poll reflected a “country gripped by a pervasive sense of pessimism” with a sense of national dread that “spans every corner of the country, every age range and racial group, cities, suburbs and rural areas, as well as both political parties.”
The CBS News-YouGov poll found that 73 percent of those polled said things were going badly in the US, compared to 36 percent who thought things were going well. 48 percent of Democrats also thought things were going well compared to 12 percent of Republicans. 56 percent of those polled said they disapprove of Biden’s job as president whereas 44 percent said they approved.
In order, voters’ concerns were the economy, inflation, and then crime and “Republicans hold a double-digit lead over Democrats” when it comes to which political party makes Americans feel safer.
46 percent of likely voters found that the GOP made them feel safer compared to 30 percent of Democrats.
The poll found that on issues of immigration and what’s being taught in schools, the GOP have big messaging wins over Democrats, with 57 percent of those polled concerned about discussions of sexuality and gender in the schools.
“A majority think Mr. Biden and the Democrats should get blame for the economy,” the poll found.
The poll concluded that the GOP will win back the house in the midterms with a net 228 seats over the Democrats getting 207.
The poll was conducted between October 26 to 28, had 2,119 respondents, and has a 2.4 percent margin of error.

Then they know what they need to do on November 8th.
OR BEFORE, with early voting!
Out of control by a Democrat Party IN CONTROL,,,,,,sounds like Reality to me. When nations like people are overcome in leadership created anxiety, not knowing what lies ahead and everything attempted failing about their eyes and ears, they like ships in a storm, head for the nearest safest port available,,,,,,,Like The Republican party. Hurricane Biden like the latest one in Florida has left people torn to the foundations of their personal beliefs and personal property. Nobody wants to rebuilt as it was before, but now seek firmer Foundations, like the workable Constitution our founders left, and a party that empowers not disenfranchises the people it was designed to serve, not rule over. The only thing that will save America is the return to the concepts of Self-governance, beginning with the capability of each individual to be able to Self-govern, sans Democrat taught government dependency,,,,his own individual life that alone can cumulatively and collectively lead to a nation capable of succeeding in reawakened sustaining excellence, not woke surrender to the basest animal instincts of immediate pleasure and survival, promoted in fear and executed in social corruption. Time to remember in November.
The other 21% is brain-dead.
Well, since 27% or so, SEE THE DEMS AS being on the right track, of COURSE they are out of their rockers!
21 people were shot in Halloween in chicago. That’s just one city run by demon rats.
Makes ME wonder. What of philly, NY, LA, San fran etc? WHERE ARE THEIR Numbers for # of folks shot over that weekend?
79% may feel things are out of control. But just watch a large bunch of brain dead voters vote for exactly the same people that have caused the problem. Too many people cannot look past the R or D behind someone’s name
