A staggering 83% of Americans think the U.S. has gone off the rails amid record high inflation, shortages of baby formula, sky-high gas prices and mass shootings, a sobering new survey released Tuesday reveals.
The Gallup Poll found only 16% of adults surveyed said they are satisfied with the way things are going in the country at this time, 83% are dissatisfied with the remaining 1% having no opinion.
The foul mood of Americans is an ominous sign for President Biden and Democrats as the congressional midterm elections approach, according to the poll.
The low confidence rate in the state of the nation represents a considerable 6 point decline from last month and is the worst measure since the U.S. Capitol riot in January 2021.
Democrats' satisfaction plummeted 14 points since April to just 24%, accounting for most of the overall drop. Now, only about one-quarter of Democrats are content with U.S. affairs — the lowest point of Biden's presidency.
Meanwhile, only 18% of independents and 4% of Republicans are happy with the status quo.
The survey of 1,007 adults was conducted from May 2 to 22 as inflation remained at its highest point in 40 years, amid skyrocketing gas and food prices, a baby formula shortage and a racially motivated shooting in Buffalo that killed 10 people, Gallup analysts said.

Biden's job approval rating is underwater with 54% giving him a thumbs down and just 41% approving of the job he is doing — about the same as last month.
"The president's job approval has not risen above 43%, nor fallen below 40%, since last August. He has not enjoyed majority-level approval since last June," Gallup noted in its analysis of the results.
Meanwhile, Congress remains very unpopular with the public — with 77% of respondents disapproving of the job it is doing and 18% approving.
That spells trouble for Democrats, who hold a razor-thin majority of both the Senate and House and could get wiped out in a Republican wave election this fall.

"With less than six months to go before the midterm elections, the public's mood is sour, with few Americans satisfied with the direction of the country and approving of Congress, making the Democratic congressional majority extremely vulnerable," Gallup said.
"Biden's approval rating is particularly weak among independents and is nowhere near the high level required (typically above 60%) for a president to stave off significant midterm losses in Congress."
The pollsters concluded, "The likelihood of a dramatic economic turnaround before November's congressional elections appears slim, which puts pressure on Democrats to persuade voters to keep them in power despite the nation's current struggles."
The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

You mean 17% don't know or disagree?
Oh wait, that's the far left!
Satisfaction With U.S. Dips; Biden Approval Steady at 41%
Do you really think he has 41% approval?
I personally think it is significantly lower than 41%.
Agreed. I think it's less than 10%.
You have issues with that number? It's from your own seeded article!!!
No shit!
I still doubt it's that high.
So you are already claiming that your seeded article falsified information, yet you still seeded it?!?!???????
The information in the article is damning enough for Biden. I'm only questioning that there would be 40% who would approve of this national disgrace. It doesn't necessarily mean that the info was false. There are a lot of people who participate in polls who are closet democrats.
And Biden and his enablers are continuing and it's getting worse. 2024 cannot come soon enough.
But if you are claiming that some of the article's information is false, can you in all honesty cite the rest of the article as entirely truthful? You can't have it both ways by saying only the info you like is true.
Was 45 in the article? Ho hum. Just more deflection attempts away from Mr fuck up.
Without a doubt a significant portion of that 83% that is dissatisfied is dissatisfied from a liberal perspective, not a MAGA one. Many people feel Biden has been too "both sides" and too eager to appease the right.
WOW! The most radical leftist president in history is too "both sides!"
We'll leave that comment out there for people to dwell on.
You are way out there in far right field Vic, never to return.
And I thought it was middle America.
Maybe I can get out. Should I read Kendi?
I could have sworn that they'd claimed that Obama was the most radical leftist president in history.
Along came Biden to claim the title.
That statement lacks historical credulity.
I will leave that comment out there for members to decide for themselves.
Like you could take it down.......................
Actually, I could delete it right now, but why would I want to take down my own comment Jim?
Rather right field then in the next county over!
I don't suppose you'd care to provide a source for your figures perhaps?
I would suggest you read the seeded article. Then you wouldn't have to ask such inane questions.
We were told that people should provide sources for claims.
We can allow for an answer.
You provided the source that he refused to read, despite the fact that in a previous contact you are already challenging the facts for your own source.
That's pretty hypocritical coming from you since you fail to provide sources for your claims.
Nobody provides more links than I do.
Nobody provides more irrelevant and/or non-responsive links than you do Vic.
"Democrats’ satisfaction plummeted 14 points since April to just 24%, accounting for most of the overall drop."
You just didn't get the free, immediate shit.
Nah. Sane Americans fear America is on a decline when with cameras rolling and Kim Jung Un looking on the buffoon of an American president saluted a North Korean General.
****And that my friends were the classiest of the classiest from the man who banged a porn star while wife number three was home with a two-month-old baby.
Defection attempt failure.
Perhaps. But everything I said is truth. What do you bring?
Your first statement is opinion and your second statement shows a weird obsession with someone's sex life. And neither one has anything to do with the article.
I bring sanity.
You are wrong. And you know it. Everything I said is true. You bring nothing.
It is always cute when a person tells someone they have never met what the do and do not know. While you are welcome to your opinion trying to pass it off as fact is just weak. [deleted]
Continuing to promote it when it has nothing to do with the article would make one wonder why you don't talk about it and continue to try and derail it. So go ahead and I will stick to the topic of biden the train wreck.
Everything in #5 is true. Every word of it. You bring nothing except Putin boot polish.
Everything in 5.2.2 and 5.2.4 is true. Yet you continue with your verbal diarrhea which again has nothing to do with the article. Weak and bordering on desperate.
America is 'allegedly' in decline because of right-wing autocratic sympathizers.
Article says nothing except cut and cover and more deflection.
Doesn't matter. When the Putin Regime falls all of the world's Putin boot polishers will be exposed. They won't even have Belarus to run to because that also will fall.
The verbal diarrhea belongs on you.
LOL. If a survey were to be taken of the opinions of other nations of the world, I believe it would indicate that the decline of the US started BEFORE Biden became POTUS.
Helsinki.
I believe our focus on pronouns have already made us a laughing stock
