Additionally, 58% believe America's best days are behind it, which is the highest percentage on this question dating back to 1990.
Another 68% of voters think the United States is currently in an economic recession.

(9,998 posts)Something like 65% of repubs say they want TFG to run again. I'm guessing that at least half of the remaining 35% would hold their noses and vote for him, simply because he's not a Lib.
I don't see how we can function as a country, with that large a percentage who are willing to embrace Fascism.

On Jan 7th, 8th the MSM asked a daring question, Who wants to be associated with the Jan 6th party and GOP votes thereafter? They showed Repubs deserting in good numbers. All of sudden they were blabbing about the Democrats losing the midterms!! WTH???
