Mood Of The Nation

The Gallup Organization just released its annual "Mood of the Nation" survey.  It measures the public's satisfaction on more than two dozen issues, and it's down across the board.  Virtually everything has gotten worse compared to January 2020. 

Here are some of the key findings:

• Just 33% of Americans are satisfied with state of the economy.  That's down 35 points from 2020.

• Just 24% of Americans are satisfied with the nation's policies on crime -- down 23 points from 2020.

• Only 27% of Americans are satisfied with our energy policies (i.e., gas prices) -- down 17 points from 2020.

• On America's military strength, satisfaction is down 20 points.

• On our security from terrorism, it's down 21 points.

• Satisfaction with the overall quality of life is down 15 points. 

• And just 20% of Americans are satisfied with the moral and ethical climate of the country, down 12 points from 2020.

It's clear that after one year of Joe Biden in the Oval Office, Americans are very concerned about our future!
