    Those 70% spikes really drive home how deranged and lead-poisoned boomers and Gen-Xers are

    Yet despite the support Trump enjoys from those demographics, he still can’t manage anything approaching 30%

      Two of the spikes are support for the first Gulf War and, I guess, being happy about September 11. I’m not entirely sure about the earliest approach of 70% but I assume it must have been because people were happy about my birth and assumed I would be their Messiah.

      I can’t find a similarly ranged chart, but here’s some data from 2016:

      Nearly half of American blacks (49%) and Hispanics (47%) are satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S., compared with 28% of whites. Satisfaction levels among these three groups have generally been steady in Minority Rights and Relations polls conducted since 2013.

      . . .

      Polling conducted as part of Gallup Daily tracking earlier in the Obama administration, between 2009 and 2013, shows racial gaps in satisfaction similar to those seen today. By contrast, throughout the Bush administration from 2001 through 2008, whites were more satisfied with the direction of the country and blacks less satisfied, consistent with each racial groups’ political leanings.

        This wording makes it sound like black and latine people are more satisfied?

          They were, in 2016. The “sample is weighted to be representative of U.S. adults,” so it’s not even “registered voters.”

    LOL the two peaks are when I was born and when I was in high school thinking that the future was actually going to be cool.

    Funny Spike that ended very quickly after the Soviet Union dissolved
