Many respondents believe the US economy is already in dire straits, the poll found
More than four in 10 Americans believe the country is heading toward a complete economic meltdown within the next decade, according to a new poll.
The survey, released by YouGov on Wednesday, shows Americans are more worried about the economy than potential threats to the democratic system or the prospect of civil war.
42% of respondents said it is very or somewhat likely that there will be “a total economic collapse” in the next 10 years, while a smaller share, 38%, described this outcome as unlikely.
Financial anxiety ran much higher among Democrats, 53% of whom feared an economic breakdown, compared with just 28% of Republicans.
In 2015, I used to say “A vote for trump is a vote for total system collapse.”
Glad to see I was right.
In 2024, in this very group, I told people voting for Trump is voting for more genocide over there AND genocide over here…
Quit thretening me with a good time
Are you, though?
Signs point to no, but it depends what the outcome is in 5-10 years. Each time it swings one way too far, the result is the other way going even further. If this swings super hard left we could see an end to the GOP functionally… which I can’t imagine happening but anything is possible if the left resurgence is strong enough.
The fallout for this to happen though really requires the administration to fall even further, which everything points to.
