Poll: Republican Satisfaction With U.S. Direction Highest Since 2007

According to a new poll, the Republican Party satisfaction with the direction of U.S. foreign and domestic development is at its highest point since 2007.

The poll was conducted by Gallup from January 2 to 7, by phone where interviewed 1,024 adults. Its margin of error is 4 percent.

The poll results show that one in four Republicans are very satisfied, while 36 percent say that are somewhat satisfied.

The Hill reported that nearly one-quarter of Republicans say they are somewhat dissatisfied with the direction of the country and 15 percent say they are very dissatisfied, however.

Just 7 percent of Democrats say they are satisfied with the country’s direction. 68 percent say they are very dissatisfied and another 25 percent say they are somewhat dissatisfied.

Meanwhile, Democrats have dipped to a new Trump-era low in satisfaction with the nation’s direction. The current 7 percent who are satisfied is slightly lower than the 9 percent to 16 percent range previously registered since the president’s inauguration.

The latest figures are from Gallup’s first measure of the question in 2018, recorded January 2-7. Nationwide, 29 percent of Americans are satisfied with the direction of the U.S., which is on the high end of the 21 percent to 32 percent range recorded since Trump became president. Nearly seven in 10 Americans (69 percent) are dissatisfied.

The independents’ levels of satisfaction are a bit more evenly distributed between the responses, but they are most likely to report being very dissatisfied (38 percent) and least likely to say they are very satisfied (7 percent).

The survey was done after the new tax overhaul bill, a major victory for President Donald Trump, was passed by the GOP and change of diplomatic policies with several nations were implemented.
