Americans are unhappy with direction of country, and the GOP should be 'worried'

Most Americans harbor pretty dismal views of the U.S. government, but the gulf between Republicans and Democrats is stark.

Overall, 37% of American adults believe the nation is headed in the right direction, according to a new poll from Business Insider's partner MSN. A plurality says their pride in being American decreased over the past year, and almost a third say the government isn't working at all.

The survey found notable differences between Republicans and Democrats, residents in red and blue states, and women and men.
While 71% of Republican respondents said they thought the country was going in the right direction, just 5% of Democrats agreed. Sixty percent of Republicans said their pride in being American increased over the past year, while just 7% of Democrats said so.

While 23% of Republicans believe the country is either working great or pretty well, just 5% of Democrats fell into those two categories — 43% of Democrats said the government didn't work at all.

Notably, independent respondents aligned more closely with Democratic voters than with GOP voters. Just 23% believe the country is on the right track, and 19% say their pride in being American increased over the past year.

1. Independents 65-23 wrong direction

That's the promising aspect.

For reference, in the 2016 national exit poll the overall percentage was 63% saying wrong track and 32% right track. That's what doomed Hillary.
