An insightful Gallup poll asks Americans how satisfied they are on around 30 issues. What is interesting is the changes from Jan 2017 to Jan 2020. The big increases are:
- state of economy +22%
- security from terrorism +18%
- military strength +15%
- race relations +14%
- crime +9%
- position of blacks +9%
- income distribution +8%
- opportunity to get ahead +6%
Those that have decreased are:
- environmental quality -6%
- level of immigration -6%
- abortion policies -7%
Those areas with increases bode well for an incumbent president. People might not like Trump, but they are much happier than three years ago on issues that matter.
