The poll reveals widespread dissatisfaction among voters, with about three-quarters feeling angry or dissatisfied with the current state of the country. The Trump administration is primarily blamed for rising costs, with 60% attributing higher prices to Trump's policies rather than external factors. A majority of voters, 70%, want Congress to provide more checks and balances on the presidency, while only a small fraction, 2%, believe Congress is providing the right amount. Disapproval of Congress's performance is also prevalent, with 75% disapproving of how Congress is handling its responsibilities. The economy is most frequently cited as the most pressing issue by 40% of voters, while democracy emerges as the top concern for 30% of respondents.",
