Poll finds Americans angry about pretty much everything

No wonder David Bowie was afraid of Americans.
A new Newsweek/Daily Beast poll finds that Americans are angry about…pretty much everything. From President Obama to congressional Republicans to even God (who has a 33 percent approval rating), everyone needs to watch out for an angry mob coming their way.
Unemployment is at 9.1 percent, gas and grocery prices are skyrocketing, the housing market is in the dumps, and people aren’t happy. Three quarters of Americans think the country is on the wrong track, and 81 percent say the job market is not where it needs to be. Half of respondents don’t think Obama has a plan to balance the budget, and 58 percent think Republicans aren’t doing their part to balance the budget either.
The poll finds that Americans are being affected by their anger in other parts of life as well. Fifty-six percent are so angry that they can’t even sleep and 13 percent say the anxiety has affected their sex life.

That pisses me off!
I thought Dear Leader was going to fix everything.
I’m sick and tired of people telling me how sick and tired I am of being sick and tired! I’m certainly not. And I’m sick and tired of being told that I am.
“56% say they can’t sleep”.
My doctor told me that he has seen an increase in the request for sleeping pills. Not because people are angry at this or that but people are worried and stressed. Our country is being flushed down the toilet so of course people are worried. People have lost their jobs, homes... trying to figure out how to pay for food, gas and new kid clothes... yes, people are affected. I find this article glib. It sounds like people reacting to a bad economy, the elimination of freedom etc... is somehow “rude and silly”.

Angry, yes
Pissed off, Yes
Get the FEMA camps ready!
So did their parents. I wonder what they think now.
Just can't have a complaint about Obama without an equal or greater complaint about republicans. Funny how polls in the past never reflected the public's discontent with congressional 'democrats'. It was just the generic 'congress'.
“They’re rioting in Africa ...”
I think the May jobs report is a reflection of how poorly the GOP is doing, as much as it is about Obama.
The GOP has done nothing to inspire confidence in the private sector so businesses have gone from merely hunkering down to duck and cover.
I think that had the GOP at least defunded Obamacare the numbers would be different.
The GOP is totally useless. They are the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globetrotters.
I guess OBL dead cat bounce has ended, I wonder if thats what the media is angry about
Yer damn straight, I’m P-O’d. Greedy corrupt politicians ruin the country and the same idiots that caused the problems keep getting re-elected. We need a new management team from the top down!
I’m angry at those who want to take from those who work, and give to those who don’t.
I don’t need no stinkin’ Newsweek/Daily Beast poll to tell me how pissed off I am.
Anger is a normal and natural response to a threat to one's values. Hussein is destroying Americal values so everyone is angry about everything.
The housing market is nowhere near the bottom, and this is not only unfixable - its healthy.
It was much needed.
To expect that your home would always fund your retirememt was not only foolish - it was selfish.
The artificial government driven real estate spiral raised the price of starter homes out of the range of the working poor.
And every Austrian school economist out there explained how.this was going to end.
I can promise that God is not worried about his job approval numbers. The true one, that is, not the Imam in the White House.
For one thing, the true God is not up for re-election.
