    Poll: 60 Percent of Adults ‘Hopeful and Optimistic’ About America’s Future


    Sixty percent of adults feel “hopeful and optimistic” about the future of the country, a Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll released Sunday shows, while President Trump’s net approval rating is negative—for now.
    When asked, “When you think about the future of the country, would you say that you are mainly hopeful and optimistic or mainly worried and pessimistic,” sixty percent of 1,000 adults surveyed from Feb. 18 t0 Feb. 22 said they were hopeful, not pessimistic. That’s a steady upward drift from 53 percent in August, and 56 percent in December. Pollsters note the margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. Meanwhile, Trump himself fares slightly less well: 44 percent approve of the job he’s doing as president, while 48 percent disapprove.

    The surge in optimism is driven in part by Trump voters’ enthusiasm, according to what pollster Bill McInturff told the Washington Examiner: “This is a strong number being driven by very high numbers among Trump voters who express optimism across a number of measures on the poll, including higher economic confidence.”

    But other groups are feeling hopeful, too. Over half, or 52 percent, of Hispanics are hopeful about the future of America, not worried. So are 65 percent of whites. (Among blacks, only 36 percent feel optimistic.) Nearly all Republicans, or 87 percent, are hopeful about the future, as well as 56 percent of independents. And so are 37 percent of Democrats.

    The other 40 percent are "Undocumented Workers".

    You're quoting a Breitbart poll? You're REALLY out there. That is a white supremacist, Nazi web site.

    Oh, I see you're quoting a bogus Breitbart interpretation of a poll. Here's one of the questions asked in the real poll:

    In general, do you approve or disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing as president?
    Approve...............................................................44 .
    Disapprove ................................ 48
    Not sure ................................ 8

    Some people just can't stand it that the majority of people are hopeful for the future of our nation.

    Must be losers syndrome of some type.

    First you need to prove it is a white supremacist website or is that just an emotional and irrational claim. Second it is an adhominem as it attacks the source rather than the information provided. What I have quoted above further makes my point.

    The topic was about OPTIMISM, not your switch-a-roo deflection to APPROVAL, or your opinion of what YOU think, white people think of themselves.

    Learn before you speak!
    Jew is a race.
    Caucasian is a race.
    Nazi's murdered the JEWS!
    Andrew Breitbart was a JEW, regardless of his skin color.

    Your slam against other races, and unfounded Nazi comment is an old childish Liberal tactic.
    "Follow the Way"; it is the LIGHT for all, whom Jesus dictates is worthy, not you.

    You don't recognize Breitbart as a white supremacist web site? I'll look for evidence which shouldn't be difficult. Give me some evidence for whatever you think they are or stand down.

    A response cited BREITBART "News." I'm calling into question the legitimacy of the statement and actually this whole question about Trump and his cronies being "Christians." You guys have been taken in by a small time con man.

    I took the time to read the entire piece you have cited concerning the citation of Julias Evola:
    Steve Bannon responds to the following question from Benjamin Harnwell of the Human Dignity Institute
    So from Bannon's answer, how do you come to the conclusion that Bannon supports Julius Evola in any way?
    In fact Bannon is informing Harnwell of Putin's adherence to Evola whose influence led to the danger.

    Read the entire piece. Bannon is no supporter of Putin Either.
