Donald Trump’s presidency is taking a physical and psychological toll on his opponents.

According to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, the controversies surrounding the president are making a majority of Democrats anxious, nervous about their own well being and feeling sad or hopeless.

The POLITICO/Morning Consult survey sought to quantify the practical and psychological impact Trump’s disruptive presidency is having on the electorate as a whole — asking voters to examine both how the Trump controversies make them feel emotionally, and whether it impacted important decisions in their own lives.

The survey also asked respondents how they feel about the future of the country more broadly — finding voters overall are more ambivalent than confident or pessimistic.

Among Democrats, however, there is far more pessimism and alarm. Eighty-three percent said they feel nervous about the future of the country, given the controversies around Trump. Another 62 percent of Democrats say the Trump scandals make them feel anxiety, and 51 percent said the controversies make them feel sad or hopeless.

But voters overall aren’t so stressed. Just 31 percent of registered voters agree that Trump-related strife makes them sad or hopeless. Just 40 percent say the president makes them feel anxiety.

While a vast majority of Democrats, 83 percent, say Trump makes them feel nervous about the future of the country, just 27 percent of Republicans and 53 percent of independents feel that way.

There’s little evidence that voters are changing their behavior in large numbers, according to the poll. Just over a quarter, 27 percent, say the Trump controversies are causing them to avoid travel to places they otherwise would visit. Only 21 percent say they are delaying or deciding against making an expensive purchase, like a house or a car. And just 13 percent say Trump is causing them to delay or decide not to have children.

Asked subsequently about how they feel about the future of the country — without Trump’s name included in the question wording — voters are mixed. A 49-percent plurality say they are anxious — including 68 percent of Democrats, 28 percent of Republicans and half of independents.

While 48 percent say they are hopeful about the future of the country, only 42 percent say they are optimistic. A greater portion, 48 percent, answer that they are not optimistic.

But only 38 percent say they are pessimistic, with 47 percent responding that they are not pessimistic.

Only 29 percent of voters say they are excited about the country’s future — with 51 percent of Republican voters saying they are excited. Male voters (35 percent) are more likely to say they are excited than women (25 percent).

The poll was conducted May 18-22, surveying 1,938 registered voters. The margin of error is plus or minus 2 percentage points.
