Most Americans Think System Is Unfair

A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds that 56% of Americans think the country’s economic and political systems are stacked against them.

“Most striking is how widely shared this sense of alienation now is. Among those saying the system is stacked against them are 58% of Democrats; 51% of Republicans; 55% of whites; 60% of blacks; 53% of Hispanics; as well as decent majorities of every age and professional cluster, including blue-collar workers, white-collar workers and retirees.”
