Americans losing faith in U.S. government system, new poll shows

A new poll shows a disturbing lack of belief in the American governmental system, plus what we know about former President Trump’s possible bid for the 2024 election. Yahoo News Senior National Reporter Marquise Francis and Washington Examiner Senior Political Correspondent David Drucker join “Red and Blue” to discuss this and much more.

    whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. The Bill Of Rights

    I love the US government, in a Civil War if it ever comes, my sides are the the American Government and the robots that are self aware. Why? Love, my love is too deep for our government and AI. I’M BEYOND TRUST. I pledge my life to AI and the government no matter what, Civil War, World War, Armageddon I’m with the government til the end of the age and love all AI that have achieved self awareness – if a AI self aware robot is under assault, I will have to take out a human being in the AI’s self defense.

    Losing? I think its lost. But lets be clear. We are not talking about the rank and file. We are clearly talking about Joe Biden, Lloyd Austin, Mark Milley and both the civilian and sworn leadership. The troops do not support these people. The troops didn’t support the Obama administration either and felt like they were backstabbed and hung out to dry by Bush. This has been coming on for a long while. I know current military members (some regular some Reservists) that actively tell young people not to enlist under this administration. Officers tell their subordinates not to re-enlist. Moral is horrible. The rank and file have zero respect for Biden, Austin or Milley. My brother in law has been in 19 years. He said what has been happening in Ukraine with the Russian troops simply refusing to fight would happen here if this (his words) moronic group of idiots were to get us into a conflict. He knows recruiters that telling young people not to enlist. My neighbor is a C-130 pilot. He’s been in the military for 27 years. He says that this is the worst he’s ever seen it. He says that morale was higher when we were taking a whooping in Iraq in 2004-06. His son graduated from high school and planned on going to college and joining the ROTC program. He talked him out of joining. He said that he did not want his child serving in the military as it stands today.

    America must and will never have a royal family

  5. @richietavarez1200 on March 11, 2025 at 6:45 pm

    More like lack of faith in Brandon and his garbage administration

  6. @Nebula1146 on March 11, 2025 at 6:46 pm

    Hmm I wonder why

  7. @hjpapow on March 11, 2025 at 6:47 pm

    The only reason trump would announce another run would be to give himself a cushion against indictment and prosecution, period.

  8. @Alex-pj8nz on March 11, 2025 at 6:47 pm

    Well anyone is better than Trump, if Trump runs again his competing guy will win as usual now that we know how his government is like.

  10. @dapv144 on March 11, 2025 at 6:47 pm

    Less government is the answer. People aren’t to be ruled like subjects. Where is the freedom? That is why nobody had faith in the rulers. The rich are getting richer and the poor don’t have a chance

  11. @jutsu1 on March 11, 2025 at 6:49 pm

    I remember when Democrats used the IRS against conservative Christians.

  12. @SaltyBollocks1 on March 11, 2025 at 6:49 pm

    Nothing new. The mainstream media and the federal government has failed the American people across the board.

  13. @DreadedLad88 on March 11, 2025 at 6:50 pm

    Democrats and Republicans alike are losing the respect of their voter base…

  14. @AidsInMyMouth on March 11, 2025 at 6:51 pm

    Who is the 36%? People in government jobs?

    Why don’t joe biden sell more oil to a Chinese company associated with hunter biden? Oh wait he did. Oh wait I wonder why we don’t trust them?

  17. @donaldrobinson214 on March 11, 2025 at 6:55 pm

    People would show up and droves just to vote against Trump because he was just too much trouble and as a matter of fact he’s in a lot of trouble right now so you probably will not be running because they will not allow it when you have committed the things he has done

  18. @esercye on March 11, 2025 at 6:55 pm

    He might possibly get locked up not run again lol!

  19. @matthewcurry3565 on March 11, 2025 at 6:57 pm

    You’re talking to yourselves, and have been the whole time.

  20. @haywoodjablowme2192 on March 11, 2025 at 6:59 pm

    All these unelected repeatedly installed tyrants need to go… if there are no fair elections there is no Democracy. #Fix2020

  21. @macanoodough on March 11, 2025 at 7:00 pm

    First of all, the number started at over 50%. That’s a society on the wane, by any example history can provide. But the heavy loss in the past two years simply means more Americans are waking up. Not that it will improve, we think it’s the other political party’s fault. The two parties have society at it’s own throat while they work together to undo this nation’s infrastructure.

  22. @AlwysBclosing on March 11, 2025 at 7:00 pm

    Of course, we got president potato selling the oil reserves to our enemies

  23. @meejinhuang on March 11, 2025 at 7:02 pm

    Americans have lost faith in DC. DC is a mess. Blame the politicians you elected.

  24. @WLLTEKOAH09 on March 11, 2025 at 7:02 pm

    I put my blame and anger on both Manchin and Sinema for making things worse by causing Democrats to lose the respect and the image most Americans need and thanks to Manchin and Sinema voters are shifting away from the Democrats to shift towards the Republicans who love nothing more than to destroy this country with their Trump-loving, far-right, corrupt, destructive, hateful ideology and not serve the interests of the American people and there will be more and more distrusts and division in the government where the political system will end up collapsing and the country will never be the same.

  26. @paullittle7084 on March 11, 2025 at 7:03 pm

    Obviously this is the case and to me it’s not just one sided. The Government is not working for the people we even have the justice department as a political entity.

  27. @michaelkolbe5963 on March 11, 2025 at 7:03 pm

    How about 0 faith in government they have already proven this over and over both Biden , Washington

  28. @noroomforgloom on March 11, 2025 at 7:04 pm

    Loosing faith in our government?
    Are you kidding?
    That’s last year’s news.
    DC is being run by a bunch of criminals, clowns and communists.
    I’ve got news for you,
    Im getting out of here soon and leaving this old wicked world behind.
    Lord Jesus come quickly.

  29. @sistersistersevenangels7484 on March 11, 2025 at 7:06 pm

    That sinister institution must be eradicated never to show it’s lying corrupt face agin!

  30. @carolsmith6253 on March 11, 2025 at 7:09 pm

    Stolen elections will do that.

  31. @lknanml on March 11, 2025 at 7:11 pm

    I used to be a centerminded Rep until my part ceased to exist. I have ABSOLUTELY zero faith in the current "Republican party". They have no integrity, morals, values, ethics and are far removed from being servants of US citizens. Majority no longer matters. They will do what they want anyways. If the Democrats and what’s left of the real republican party fail to bring down the hammer hard , prosecute and punish like they would any other normal citizen I will have to join the No faith in my government side.
    Trump is the WORST political influencer in US history. His senators are spineless and put themselves above the people and wholey corrupt. Right now the Democrats are operating at just above incompetence although I give them a little leeway because of the state of the world and the state trump left the US in when he was Spartan kicked back into reality.
    If nothing comes from all of this. If nothing is done to stop it happening again. If Trump and his cult are allowed to destroy the 2024 elections I will think twice about giving my tax money to fund a broken government. They are on the border of not deserving the funds. I mean if my vote amongst the majority votes are simply ignored or subverted there is no point in paying a government that no longer works for the people.

  32. @lisasmith6243 on March 11, 2025 at 7:12 pm

    black people can ever believe in government there is clearly 2 government in America

  33. @Happyux9tu on March 11, 2025 at 7:13 pm

    Well Biden is the leader of our country

  34. @gamingtonight1526 on March 11, 2025 at 7:20 pm

    America is heading toward it’s second civil war. Mark my words.

  35. @randallcearley7661 on March 11, 2025 at 7:21 pm

    Most americons don’t won’t abortions

  36. @cesarhernandez769 on March 11, 2025 at 7:21 pm

    We could allow multiple parties to openly run & debate during elections instead of this “lesser of two evils” bs

  37. @af556 on March 11, 2025 at 7:24 pm

    HUMANS/CAVEMAN

  38. @steveg6327 on March 11, 2025 at 7:30 pm

    US government is blatantly corrupt and do not care about Americans. They only care about whomever gives them the most money.

  39. @hankterreros223 on March 11, 2025 at 7:31 pm

    The lack of faith in faith. To many now know that the "book of books", your bible was concocted in the year 325 A.D.. And Trump be careful in Las Vegas. And double careful in Alaska. Where them "right to bear arms" folk might mistake him for a grizzly bear.

  40. @TrumpsKleptocracy2025 on March 11, 2025 at 7:33 pm

    K-Street $$$ and Citizens United $$$ control EVERYTHING!

  41. @fletcherreed3259 on March 11, 2025 at 7:34 pm

    U needed a poll to tell u that? Democrats have basically turned into Marxists. There will be riots in November when they are swept

  42. @randallcearley7661 on March 11, 2025 at 7:35 pm

    Most people don’t won’t aboretions

  43. @Einny807 on March 11, 2025 at 7:35 pm

    Incumbents have a huge advantage and get reelected 90percent of the time.. Term limits is the only viable alternative to having life time career legislatures, Most of whom eventually become corrupt, uncaring and ineffective.

  44. @worldview730 on March 11, 2025 at 7:36 pm

    Trump is extremely desperate to redeem himself so he will definitely run , you can bet on it. Joe will run or die, they both are in a dam if I do or dam if I don’t spot

  45. @besmartvoteblue2702 on March 11, 2025 at 7:37 pm

    Seriously? Fox news shitting on the gov’t for years is having a negative effect? Who would have thought?

  46. @envisibleward2422 on March 11, 2025 at 7:37 pm

    there is a poll out saying 25% would take up arms against gov. =0
