I need to know for my poli sci class if you feel Americans are really frustrated and cynical?

Then I have to compare your opinions to polls.


HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Norah, are you asking if Americans are frustrated and cynical in general or about something specific, like our political system?

I'm sure we all can help...just let us know.

Political System.

 

[daughter_of_amid_chaos]

Do you feel our nation has lately been more divided over political issues?
Do you believe that our leaders can put political parties aside and work together to make the US a better place?

Frustrated with the choices we have and how our current system favors those with money and charisma rather than substance, yes.

Cynical overall that there is any BETTER system out there, no. Even with its warts, I wouldn't want to live under another system of government.

EDITED to add the answers to your specific questions as you posted when I did:

Do you feel our nation has lately been more divided over political issues?

NO, I don't feel that we are any more divided than we have always been.

Do you believe that our leaders can put political parties aside and work together to make the US a better place?

Hmm, theoretically YES but in practice, sadly, I have to say no.

OUr nation as a whole has become more cynical in recent years I hate to say .

Do you feel our nation has lately been more divided over political issues?
Depends on which issues but yes they have. Especially on the war front. Lots of people aren't happy with the way that is being handled.

Do you believe that our leaders can put political parties aside and work together to make the US a better place?

I wish this would happen but as it stands now I doubt it would ever happen. People have become so set in their ways that they can't put aside what they have always believed in.

I think there are always divides throughout history. I am not sure if we are more so or not. So, I will choose to say not anymoe now than before


Do you believe that our leaders can put political parties aside and work together to make the US a better place?


I wish I could say yes, but I feel that they will not because of too may issues on the far right and far left and they do not want to reduce amount of money they can get in fundraising.
