Most Americans Are Very Tired of Politics – By Newser Editors (Newser) / Sept 19, 2023
And more people than ever blame both parties in a new survey
If the idea of talking politics these days feels like a wearying chore, you are not alone. A new study by the Pew Research Center finds that 65% of Americans say they often or always feel “exhausted” when thinking about politics. A smaller majority (55%) feels downright angry. Only 10% feel hopeful at the prospect, and a rarer few (4%) feel optimistic.
- Almost 3 in 10 people (28%) have unfavorable views of both parties, the highest percentage in 30 years of asking that question. About a quarter of people (25%) say neither party represents them well.
- Only 4% of people say the American political system is working extremely or even very well, though 23% give it a “somewhat well” rating. Most (63%) have little or no confidence in the system.
