This is hardly surprising
From a recent Gallup Panel survey (received via email):
When asked to rate the overall quality of the environment in the United States right now, 6 in 10 panelists say it is poor (13%) or only fair (49%) while more than one-third of panelists say it is good (34%) or excellent (4%). There are vast differences in answers by panelists’ reported political affiliation: Most Democrats (85%) say that current environmental quality is poor or only fair, while more than two-thirds of Republicans say that the nation’s environment is good or excellent.
Using this, and extrapolating from the 2004 election results, then, I’d say approximately 100 million Americans, or about 33%, are on crack.
I mean, really. Who honestly thinks things are still going swimmingly here? When I saw Sherman Alexie speak a couple of weeks ago, he said something witty and biting about the President’s hemorrhaging approval rating and the tolerance of the “deluded souls” who can’t get enough of the shit being shoved down their throats. Except it was much funnier, and much meaner than that.
