The majority of Americans believe the country is in a state of cultural and economic decline, according to a poll from the Trafalgar Group and the Convention of States.
More than 72% of Americans surveyed said the country is economically and culturally deteriorating, according to the study. The majority of respondents had more faith in the “everyday American” citizen than in politicians to “reverse” the decline.
“The current decline of the U.S. is glaringly obvious to anyone outside the D.C. beltway who has watched inflation drive grocery prices higher, seen the Tik Tok clips of the rabid leftwing activists teaching our children, or attempted to walk down a filth and crime-ridden street of our major U.S. cities,” Mark Meckler, president of the Convention of States, said in a press release.
Approximately 91% of Republicans responded that the country is “in a state of cultural and economic decline” compared to approximately 50% of Democrats, according to the poll.
The majority of Americans were also doubtful that politicians could fix the perceived damage to the country, the study found. Approximately 80% of Republicans believed “everyday Americans” are better equipped than elected officials to reverse the decline, compared to approximately 72% of Democrats.

“[Voters] are no longer looking to political candidates or a political party to put the U.S. on the right track,” said Meckler in the press release. “We are coming to the same realization that previous generations of Americans understood, America will become great again through the hard work and spirit of the everyday citizen. It will not come about because of politicians, but rather in spite of them.”
The poll was conducted from June 5 to June 9 and had a respondent group of 1,088 people. It has a 2.9% margin of error.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It's hard to believe it's really happening, but it is. Male athletes pretend to be females, dominate their sports, and are thereby rapidly destroying women’s competitive sports worldwide. Convicted male criminals suddenly claim to be transgender so they can be confined in a women’s prison and sexually abuse the female inmates there. Men claiming to be female likewise invade women’s locker rooms, bathrooms, schools, dormitories, sororities, shelters, spas and social organizations – and in the process steal women’s scholarships, advancement, honors and myriad other opportunities.
Meanwhile, transgender groomers and recruiters in schools and on social media platforms like TikTok are continually feeding and expanding the current “mass hysteria” craze that has already led countless teen girls to take testosterone and undergo double mastectomies in a pathetic effort to become boys. No wonder the CDC reports 3 in 5 teen girls say they feel “persistently sad or hopeless” and almost 1 in 3 say they have seriously considered committing suicide.
All of this on top of the radical left’s renewed obsession with killing women’s unborn babies via abortion.
The “woke” left’s maniacal attack on women and girls, virtually unreported by the rest of the media, is the entire focus of the sensational June issue of WND’s critically acclaimed WHISTLEBLOWER magazine, titled “THE LEFT’S TOTAL WAR ON WOMEN.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
