What Do You Think?
Do you think the economic and political systems in the United States are stacked against people like you? The answer to that question is one that an otherwise politically-divided nation mostly agrees on. In a recent poll for NBC News and The Wall Street Journal, a majority of Democrats (58 percent) Republicans (51 percent) whites (55 percent) blacks (60 percent) and Hispanics (53 percent) answered yes. So did majorities blue-collar workers, white-collar workers and retirees. The same survey found that the stock market soaring to record highs doesn’t affect Americans’ views on the economy as much as the unemployment rate and stagnating or falling wages. What do you think?
