A staggering 74% of Americans believe their political leaders don't care about them, reflecting a widespread sentiment of dissatisfaction, a new poll finds.

No single group expressed more than 40% confidence in leaders' concern for their well-being, whether broken down by race, party, gender, age, income, or geographic region.

43% of Americans feel their lives have worsened under the Biden administration, 9% said they're better, and 28% said they are unchanged. Even Democrats are split on how they feel, with just 53% saying they're better off under Biden.

The groups most likely to say leaders don't care are also some of those who feel like they're in the biggest financial trouble. More than 70% of respondents said politicians aren't trustworthy and that they care more about themselves than their constituents.

John Gerzema, CEO of The Harris Poll: “The vibe Americans are giving their political leaders is that they're pale, stale and frail. Most of the country does not see the people in charge as relatable, caring, or connected to their lives in any genuine way. This is especially true of younger Americans, who feel that most leaders have stayed on past their expiration date.”
