Morning Joe: 80% of Americans Feel the Country ‘Is Out of Control’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "And about Mitt Romney, you know, Senator Romney has been a good friend for a long time, and even through the 2012 campaign where they didn’t appreciate it, I know, when I could be tough on their campaign once in a while, but we’ve remained a good friend. But it is interesting that I’ve always said he was extraordinarily cautious and told him at times and told those closest to him at times that he was extraordinarily cautious whenever he had his sort of political uniform on. Well, that caution is being thrown to the wind and at an extraordinarily important time in this nation’s history. A majority of Americans feel that the country is out of control. That’s according to a new NBC News/'Wall Street Journal' poll. The poll, which was conducted during the aftermath of George Floyd’s death and as the U.S. surpassed over 100,000 Coronavirus deaths, found that 80% of Americans believe America is out of control. Only 15% say they think things are under control. And almost six in ten voters say they are more concerned about the death of George Floyd and the actions of the police than they are about the violence that has broken out at times during recent protests. Broken down by party, that includes 81% of Democrats, 59% of independents and 29% of Republicans.”
