Gallup: Americans Say Government Is Nation’s Biggest Problem

[polychronopolous]

Great to see the people finally waking up.



A recent Gallup survey finds 16 percent of respondents say that government – whether it was President Obama or Congress – was the country’s largest problem last year.

Thirteen percent of the respondents said the economy was the biggest issue. Immigration and unemployment tied for third at eight percent.

According to Gallup, this is the first year since 2007 that immigration was one of the top four concerns among Americans.

Gallup surveyed 12,000 adults across the nation by telephone. The survey has a one percent plus or minus margin of error.

Only 16%?   Good Grief, we got a long way to go

Paul Ryan is the shadiest of them all.   Tea party "darlin" that has single-handedly enabled the Obama agenda of SPEND!!! in 2015.

The Paul Ryan Project Crashes, Burns: Mr. Speaker’s Popularity Plummets

As House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)’s big government, open borders agenda has been on display since he was elected to the top position in the House of Representatives in October, his polling numbers have collapsed.

New polling data from YouGov shows that Ryan’s favorability ratings have dropped nearly a quarter since he took the Speakership.

“Favorable ratings of Ryan from Republicans have dropped 24 points since early November,” YouGov announced when releasing the new Economist/YouGov polling data.

Ryan’s favorability with Republican voters has dropped below 50 percent for the first time in his Speakership, as well, as he’s now fallen to just 45 percent favorability among Republicans. Of Republicans polled, he is viewed by a mere 18 percent as very favorable while 27 percent view him as somewhat favorable.

Among all voters, Ryan’s favorability ratings are even lower—just 29 percent. Among all those polled, a paltry 8 percent view Ryan as “very favorable” while just 21 percent view him as “somewhat favorable.”

Less than half—just 45 percent, again—of Republicans polled approve of the way Ryan is running the House of Representatives. Only 16 percent strongly approve, while 29 percent somewhat approve.

Even more damning than those details is the next page of the poll, which found just 29 percent of Republicans believe Ryan is someone who “sticks to his principles, no matter what.”

A whopping 71 percent of Republicans, meanwhile, believe Ryan “compromises” on his claim that his core beliefs are conservative in order to “get things done.”

Wasnt it Ryan who ended the shutdown by compromising, even though he knew he would take some hits from it? Kudos

He seems somewhat responsible.
