Meanwhile, the most startling
Gallup Poll to date, taken on
Feb 18th, 2019, after the midterm elections, reported that 35% of Americans now believe that government/leadership is the top
problem facing the country. Only 11% cited Donald Trump while 18% cited gridlock.

“more moderate,” while only 41% wanted it to be more left. That contrasted with the Republicans and their allies, 57% of whom wanted a more conservative party with less government and lower taxes.
