Seven out of ten Americans believe the United States is “out of control” under President Donald Trump—and that was before ICE agents executed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this past weekend.

A new Economist/YouGov poll conducted January 16-19 found that 71 percent of U.S. adults think the country has gone off the rails, while just 18 percent said things are “under control.” The remaining 11 percent weren’t sure.

THE DETAILS: This isn’t just Democrats having a meltdown. The “out of control” sentiment cuts across nearly every demographic group: 70 percent of white respondents, 79 percent of Black respondents, 70 percent of Hispanic respondents, 70 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds, and 74 percent of those 65 and older all said the same thing.

Here’s the kicker: even half of Republicans—50 percent—said the country is out of control. Only 38 percent of Trump’s own party said things were under control. Of course, 91 percent of Kamala Harris voters described the country as out of control compared to 50 percent of Trump voters, and 94 percent of liberals agreed versus 71 percent of conservatives.

The poll surveyed 1,722 U.S. adult citizens via web-based interviews and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

BUT BUT BUT: The White House is spinning this as hard as you’d expect. Spokesperson Anna Kelly told Newsweek that “President Trump took office with a resounding mandate” and has “firmly cemented his legacy as the Peace President, having ended eight wars and counting.” She dismissed the findings as “the Mainstream Media’s so-called polling.”

ZOOM OUT: This poll data arrived alongside other surveys showing similar unease. An AP-NORC poll from January 8-11 found 56 percent of Americans think Trump has “gone too far” in deploying U.S. forces abroad. A Quinnipiac survey found 70 percent of respondents believe presidents should get congressional approval before taking military action against another country.

And remember: all of this polling was completed before ICE agents killed Alex Pretti on Saturday, an incident that has since sparked nationwide outrage, protests in Minneapolis, and calls from Democratic lawmakers to block DHS funding.

WHY IT MATTERS: These numbers aren’t just vibes—they’re going to shape November’s midterm elections. Americans across demographic lines feel the country isn’t on a steady course, and majorities want limits and oversight on executive power. That’s a recipe for motivated voters who are hungry for change. The question now is whether Democrats can channel that anxiety into actual electoral wins, or whether the chaos just becomes the new normal.
