Half of Americans believe the that the people running the USA are “unknown” to voters

Half of Americans believe the that the people running the USA are “unknown” to voters. Following up on our post “Study shows ‘striking’ number who believe news misinforms,” by David Bauder, Joanne Nova found an interesting result buried in the survey results, which has received almost no attention to date.

Faith in the workings of democracy is gone. Nearly six out of ten can see that Joe Biden is not the one running the country. Barely one person in five thinks he does. This result applies to Congress too — whoever is running the country is behind the scenes.

The good news is that eight out of ten people either don’t trust government accounts or are not sure, and most people value the opinion of “ordinary people” more than experts or politicians.

There was a split: 71% of those who didn’t trust the media also believe that the people who really “run” the country are unknown to the voters; but even 46% of those who trusted the media also felt this way. Even half the people who believe the propaganda on TV are still skeptical that Joe Biden runs America.

The charade is breaking down. Biden is obviously too incompetent to be running a country. It’s also obvious that the real rulers disregard the will of the nation, e.g. on immigration.
