Nearly 3/4 of Voters Believe America in a State of Economic and Cultural Decline
Larger Majority Say Everyday Americans Best Able to Reverse U.S. Decline Not Politicians
(Austin, TX—June 29, 2023) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted June 5th through June 9th of over 1,000 likely general election voters.
“The current decline of the U.S. is glaringly obvious to anyone outside the D.C. beltway who has watched inflation drive grocery prices higher, seen the Tik Tok clips of the rabid leftwing activists teaching our children, or attempted to walk down a filth and crime ridden street of our major U.S. cities,” said Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States. “But what is most telling with this poll is where voters think the solution lies. They are no longer looking to political candidates or a political party to put the U.S. on the right track. We are coming to the same realization that previous generations of Americans understood, America will become great again through the hard work and spirit of the everyday citizen. It will not come about because of politicians, but rather in spite of them.”
