80 Percent of US Voters Say the Country Is 'Out of Control,' Survey Says With nationwide protests, a rising death toll from
COVID-19 and high unemployment numbers, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll says that only
15 percent of voters believe things are under control. The survey was conducted from
late May through early June 2020. It adds that four in five
registered voters believe the
country is in a state of flux. 57 percent wants the government to do more,
while 38 percent think it's doing too much. Despite the chaos, results from NBC/Wall Street Journal
find that President Trump's approval rating
is holding steady at 45 percent. He still trails former Vice President
Joe Biden, 49 percent to 42 percent,
in additional poll findings. As protests rage on, the survey
adds that the majority is more
concerned over actions of the police. 59 percent are concerned about what authorities will do, while 27 percent say violent rallies are more worrisome. 63 percent say they are still concerned they
or someone they know may contract the coronavirus. Only 11 percent believe the pandemic
has been contained enough before
the U.S. economy can fully open.
