A new Gallup survey underscores an unprecedented partisan split over the country’s trajectory, with 76 percent of Republicans saying they are satisfied with the way things are going in the United States and fewer than one-half of one percent of Democrats doing the same — a figure that rounds to 0 percent. Among independents, 25 percent expressed satisfaction. The 76-point gap between Republican and Democratic sentiment is the widest Gallup has recorded since it began asking the question in 1979, edging past the previous 75-point divide registered in May. Overall, 19 percent of U.S. adults said they are satisfied with national conditions, Gallup said. The poll, conducted Aug. 1–20 among roughly 1,000 adults, carries a margin of sampling error of ±4 percentage points. In the same survey, President Donald Trump’s job-approval rating stood at 40 percent, with support split 93 percent among Republicans and 1 percent among Democrats — matching the record partisan gap in Gallup’s presidential approval series first set in 2020.
