Most Think America Will Be Great Again
Most Think America Will Be Great Again
The coronavirus has done little to dent voters’ optimism about America’s future, and most believe the country will be great again.

Just 21% of Likely U.S. Voters agree with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s statement that “we’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great.” A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 62% disagree. This compares to 17% and 67% respectively when Cuomo made the comment in an August 2018 speech. Seventeen percent (17%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Thirty-two percent (32%) of his fellow Democrats share Cuomo’s view that “we’re not going to make America great again.” Only 11% of Republicans and 17% of voters not affiliated with either major party agree.


Forty-six percent (46%) of all voters think America’s best days are still in the future, down from 50% in January and an all-time high of 54% in April of last year. Thirty-four percent (34%) say it’s best days are in the past. Nineteen percent (19%) are not sure.

But prior to the last couple years, the number of voters who felt America’s best days were in the future ran in only the mid- to upper 30s in most regular surveys since November 2006. As recently as May 2017, 52% thought America’s best days were in the past.

These states like NY NJ MI CA. They need to vote out those liberal pos mayors, governors and politicians. They treat people in their states like they are slaves. Keep poking the bear in the cage with this use of force. One day it’s not going to end well.
 
All those non essential workers drawing unemployment that are gonna starve and riot and cause mayhem are making more money being out of work than a large portion of the essential working crowd.

Plenty of people are lining up at food banks. So should everyone just get fired and sit at home? What is the solution? Either way the taxes and hyperinflation are going to be downright ugly. If you are not paying attention unfortunately things are getting worse with tensions in America. I don’t want to even post some of these videos because they are disturbing. I am hoping with things opening up it will calm. I mean police beating people. Men shooting an unarmed man in street. People shooting McDonald’s workers over dine in. People shooting over a mask that a child was not wearing. Like I said the pot is starting to boil. I have also said an Economic collapse COULD lead to Riots and starvation. You can mock me if like but it’s starting to happen Shaggy. I know neither of us want that. 1 in 4 kids are hungry. It want happen overnight but if America is not careful it will descend into chaos. Hopefully this is over yesterday and we can try and get back to somewhat normal.

There is not enough money to keep paying these unemployment benefits. Unemployment at 33 million estimated.

You've been blind. These crazy shootings and attacks over NOTHING have always happened. YEARS ago a man was stabbed to death at our local mall over a parking spot. These kinds of things have been happening for years and they make easy stories now for people trying to stoke fear into people waiting to sop it up and declare the USA is on the verge of a meltdown.

I know what I see when I am out and its 99% random acts of kindness.

Whatever Shaggy. I’m not blinded. Yes some of these have been going on for years but now you are adding people hurting and needing money and tired of being not able to get out. Yes kindness is out there. It is here but we also don’t live in the big cities like NY & Chicago & Detroit and others. You think America could never meltdown. Which is fine and I hope you are right. Just remember we are just now getting started on the Economic impacts. It’s going to get much worse on the economic side. As always we can agree to disagree.

Do you truly believe that opening the economy is going to make things better?

Yes I do. I think if hotspots happen then that state addresses that area. So you want to stay shut down? When does it end? What is your solution?

I said its starting to boil. Difference between starting to boil and at boiling point. Forget science class and the frog? You would be that frog Shaggy. Put you in a pot and let is start getting warm to hot to boiling. By time you realized the water was boiling you would be dead. So crime is down which is good but it’s also still early in the economic impacts. In the last week I’d say the numbers have gone up slightly. Either way longer jobless, unemployment go on the more crime will continue to increase. You say it’s all kindness and utopia in the world. No hunger or poverty and everyone wo a job should be happy they are saving a life. You are making bank. Anything that goes wrong is Trumps fault and his blinded Trumpsters. We’ve beat this horse enough. Moving along.

Yes there will be some crime. Yes there will be some people who wont have the money to buy like they were before. If they are getting unemployment they arent broke and have no reason to commit crimes. If they are committing crimes its NOT because of covid it's because they are criminals exploiting a current crisis. You act like the father of 3 who is out of work is gonna go on an armed robbery spree or go kill their neighbors for their food. You come across as someone who believes this powderkeg is about to blow. Nothing I see personally and outside of lines at food banks leads me to believe we are even in the ballpark of that kind of societal breakdown yet.
