From PEW Research come the following, in The Matrix frustration has long been one of the most dominant emotion toward the United States federal government. Democrat and Republican anger depends on what party is in power.
We regularly ask Americans whether the federal government makes them feel basically content, frustrated or angry.
o Today, 49% say they feel frustrated.
o Another 26% say they are angry,
o 23% say they are basically content, according to a Pew Research Center survey of 3,445 U.S. adults conducted Sept. 22-28
Frustration is common across the political spectrum regardless of which party holds the presidency.
But the shares of Republicans and Democrats feeling anger and contentment shift dramatically depending on who’s in the White House.
