You got 36 percent of the respondents to this poll listing a concern about our political system and the health of our politics as the most important problem facing the country compared to just 21 percent who listed an economic issue like the stock market or the cost of living.
Right, and it gets expressed in different ways, but no matter how you cut it, the problem is about our political system.
Now, we should say that this poll was taken right after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
So it makes sense that these concerns about the health of our politics were right on the top of mind for many voters, and it's possible that right as we head into a government shutdown, people will start thinking about something entirely differently than the risk of political violence.
That said...
This is not some isolated occurrence.
This is part of a longer-term trend towards a more divisive kind of politics in the country.
And it could also continue to get worse, even if it's also possible that it gets better.
Well, I think there's a little bit of both.
You know, there are a lot.
There are people who think that political divisions might lead to dysfunction or like the government shutdown we're about to have this week.
There are people who might think that this division could threaten the continuity of democracy in the United States.
So there's a wide range of concerns that people have about what political division might lead to.
But they're not just emotional concerns.
They're not just reacting, again,
the tone in Washington.
They think that political division and this range of political problems has real world consequences.
And I think the simplest question in the poll that we have that speaks to this is that we ask people whether America's political system can address the nation's problems or if we're just too politically divided to solve our problems.
They said by a two-to-one margin that we're too divided politically to solve our problems.
64% said too divided to solve our problems.
