new poll: mood of the country

The shift in the national mood has been swift and striking. After years of economic growth, only one-third of poll respondents give the economy positive marks. The virus has become so far-reaching that nearly one in five say they know someone who has died of it — including one-third of African-Americans, who have been disproportionately affected by the virus. Fifty-seven percent of registered voters believe the worst of the pandemic is yet to come.

Families that once debated educational choices now face discussions about whether attending school will even be an option. Once-routine trips to pick up a gallon of milk are loaded with the politics of whether to wear a mask. Protests of police killings have injected new and sometimes difficult discussions about race into daily conversations.

1. Apparently Trump supporters can't read or think.

2. So the party that has been paranoid about communists, socialist, gays,

blacks, Muslims, and Ebola that killed two people in America is the most chilled about the worst health crisis for a century and the worst economic collapse for 90 years.

5. Lot of important information. Some staggering stats:

- 7 in 10 voters believe economy will be better in a year

- about 95% of trump voters believe trump doing a good job on the economy.

- Dems much more anxious about the state of America today [Reps less than half, Dems around 3/4]

[Worth opening the link and studying the information. Explains trump's support. so surprising to Dems]
