The percentage of \u201cthriving\u201d Americans is at a five-year low<\/a>, according to a Gallup poll.<\/p>\n

The poll found 48.9 percent of respondents said they are \u201cthriving,\u201d staying at a five-year low previously recorded in November 2024 and September 2023.<\/p>\n

Since December 2020, there has not been a percentage of respondents lower than 48.2 percent that have said they are thriving.<\/p>\n

The Gallup poll took place Feb. 18-26, about a month into President Trump\u2019s return to the White House.<\/p>\n

The poll found a definite shift in how people in the two main political parties were feeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Between August and February, the percentage of Republicans who said they were thriving increased from 50.7 percent to 55.5 percent, while the percentage of Democrats who said they were thriving dropped from 57.1 percent to 46.1 percent.<\/p>\n

In the wake of their defeats in races for the White House, Senate and House, Democrats have struggled to come together over issues like transgender rights and how much to push back against Trump.<\/p>\n

Last month, tensions among Democrats flared after a group of senators within the party voted to advance<\/a> a Republican-crafted continuing resolution<\/a>. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) notably went after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for saying he would vote to advance the continuing resolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a deep sense of outrage and betrayal,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez told reporters in March, referring to Schumer\u2019s decision. \u201cAnd this is not just about progressive Democrats. This is across the board \u2014 the entire party.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gallup poll featured 5,876 people and when percentages were close to 50 percent, plus or minus 1.6 percentage points was its margin of error.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
