A new Gallup survey has found, “Americans’ satisfaction with the way things are going in the U.S. is at its lowest since President Donald Trump took office in January, with 29% now saying they are satisfied. This contrasts with 31% to 33% readings each of the past three months and a term high of 38% in May.”

• Gallup notes, “Most of the decline in U.S. satisfaction this month is the result of fewer Republicans saying they are satisfied, now 68%, down from 76% in August. Satisfaction among both independents and Democrats is essentially unchanged, at 23% and 1%, respectively.”
