New Poll: Majority of Americans Are Embarrassed and Very Angry at the State of the Country
A majority of Americans feel embarrassment by the U.S. handling of the Coronavirus and most of them are very angry at the direction the country is heading.
Those are the findings of a new CNN poll released on Wednesday. In bad news for President Donald Trump, his approval rating on Coronavirus has hit a new record low.
Fifty-eight percent of Americans said they didnt approve of Trumps handling of the pandemic, while 55% said the worst of the Covid-19 outbreak is still to come.
CNN found that nearly 7 in 10 Americans are embarrassed by the countrys response to the Coronavirus, with a clear partisan divide on the issue. Some 93% of Democrats are embarrassed, though 61% Republicans are proud.

I used to look at the GOP as conservatives, now I just think they're assholes.

their greed and self-interest with some BS about being conservative, but underneath, it was all about "me me me".
