Republicans still feel pessimistic about U.S. future despite winning White House: report
- Although Republicans have won both houses of Congress and the White House, the latest Gallup data shows that they still feel pessimistic about the future of the United States. Axios wrote about the end-of-year data showing that just 19% of Americans are optimistic about the future of the U.
The article from MSN discusses a recent report by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) which highlights a persistent sense of pessimism among Republicans about the future of the U.S., despite their party's control of the White House.

This pessimism persists even after the 2020 election, with many Republicans feeling that the country is on the wrong track. The report attributes this outlook to several factors including economic concerns, cultural shifts, and political polarization. It also notes that this sentiment has been exacerbated by the events of recent years, including the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, social justice movements, and ongoing political divisiveness. Despite these feelings, the report suggests that this pessimism might not necessarily translate into electoral outcomes, as voter turnout and political engagement remain high.
