Gallup poll shows Americans' satisfaction after election

A new Gallup poll shows that Americans are now less satisfied with the state of the U.S. than they were in the days before the election.

While the rating had been at a recent high of 37%, it dropped to 27% in the days following Donald Trump's victory.

Not surprisingly, Democrats reported the greatest declines.

Prior to November 8, satisfaction among party members was polling as high as 62%.

That number has since dropped to 34%.

The outlook among Independents took a hit as well, falling from 34% to 27%.

Republicans remained largely displeased, but were slightly less so after Election Day.

Between November 1 and 6, 14% expressed contentment.

That number rose to 17% in the survey conducted from November 9 to 13.

The poll was conducted by phone and involved 1,019 randomly sampled adults.
