Most Americans don’t think Trump or Democratic leaders are listening. Here’s what they wish they could tell Washington

A CNN/SSRS poll finds just 34% of adults say Trump cares about them and 36% say the same for Democratic leaders, with 40% citing economic concerns as their top priority.

  • Earlier this month, a CNN/SSRS poll found nearly 4 in 10 Americans say neither President Donald Trump nor Democratic leadership is listening.
  • Economy concerns are central as 40% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents cited affordability struggles, with voters urging leaders to 'take care of the economy' amid local hardship.
  • Poll data show just 34% of US adults say Trump cares somewhat and 36% say Democratic leaders do, while 19% of the Democratic base want stronger stances versus 2% favoring compromise.
  • The poll suggests political strategists should focus on affordability and the economy, as these issues are likely to dominate next year's midterms and shape advice from American voters.
  • Reactions ranged from those urging resignation or refusing to speak to respondents expressing uncertainty about survival and future prospects, while some prioritized personal conduct over policy.
