It is likely that the "out of control" replies come from both sides of the political spectrum. One could think that things are out of control because of the failings of Trump and the Republicans, but it is also true that one could think that things are "out of control" because of Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats.
However, Trump's polling is so bad and he is under water in so many aspects, it is more logical to believe that the bulk of the 4 out of 5 Americans who think the country is out of control do so because of the incompetence of the Trump presidency.

WASHINGTON — Eight out of 10 voters believe that things are out of control in the United States, with majorities still concerned about the spread of the coronavirus , pessimistic about the economy's returning to normal before next year and down on President Donald Trump's ability to unite the nation.
Those are the major findings of a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll that was conducted May 28 to June 2, during the aftermath of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis, as the U.S. death toll from the coronavirus surpassed 100,000 and after millions of people have lost their jobs.
But the survey was conducted before Friday's surprising jobs report , which found the unemployment rate declining to 13.3 percent and the economy adding 2.5 million jobs in May.
"Out of control — that's America in 2020," said Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates, who helped conduct the survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff and his GOP colleagues at Public Opinion Strategies.
It's "one of the few things Americans can agree upon and the one finding that we can definitively state given the tumult and torment of the past 12 days," Horwitt said.
Despite the turmoil and instability, the NBC News/WSJ poll shows that attitudes about Trump and the 2020 election remain locked in place, with the president's job rating stuck in the mid-40s and with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden maintaining his national lead over Trump.
McInturff, the GOP pollster, said it's striking that Trump's job rating and ballot position haven't changed given the extraordinary events over the last 90 days.
"Those are remarkable findings that speak to the power of our partisan silos," he said.
According to the poll, 80 percent of registered voters say they feel that things are generally out of control in the country, versus 15 percent who believe that things are under control.
That includes 92 percent of Democrats, 78 percent of independents and even 66 percent of Republicans who think things are out of control.

I dont recall ever seeing a poll question "do you think things are out of control in the U.S. ?" before.
A sign of the times for the trump era.
And you think those opinions are all about Trump? Why am I not surprised. It goes all the way down to Congress, governors, state and local agencies, and mayors/city and county GovCo. As well as the protests and especially riots.
I think you are being a little disingenuous. JMHO because TRUMP.
the things out of control are not of the rights doing.
the left is going to pay dearly in the upcoming elections
