The former is the highest rating Gallup has ever recorded on the measure dating back to when it was first taken more than 13 years ago. The latter is the highest since the coronavirus pandemic began early last year.
What's the point: The last year has been tough for a lot of Americans. Among other issues, the coronavirus dominated our lives, and there was a very contentious presidential election. But with the election in the rearview mirror and
more people returning to their pre-pandemic routines, Americans are feeling a lot more optimistic.
A number of different measures show Americans are feeling better about themselves and the state of the country than they have in a while.
The Gallup measures I mentioned shouldn't be too surprising given what we've been seeing from
Axios/Ipsos polling. More Americans have been saying that their emotional well being has improved in the last week than gotten worse in every survey since May. From when the question was first asked in March 2020 through April of this year, more Americans had said it had gotten worse than better in every survey.
This positivity goes beyond the personal and into the political.
Last week, an
NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist College poll found that 47% of Americans said the country was going in the right direction. That was within the margin of error of the 49% who said we were going in the wrong direction.

Partner, CNN is part of the fake news crowd and CNN does not have any credibility anymore.

...But now you can go shopping, to the movies, bars... The Political Prisoners rotting in the DC Gulag don't get to do any of that. Just a taste of what Nanzi's Nazi's have in store for the rest of us if her Communist Revolution continues.

And the ACLU is okay with it.
ACLU was also ok with lockdowns/quarantines for all even AFTER they’d won a lawsuit to throw out quarantines for people who specifically had been exposed to Ebola.
The ACLU has also been silent on the the FBI lying on their FISA warrant against Trump and planting fake news items in the WashPost to further their calls for investigation etc.
They probably still celebrate getting admitted terrorist bomber Bill Ayers off charges because of “abuse of his rights”.
