A new poll appeared to sound the alarm that Americans are filled with anxiety over President Trump and the state of the nation.
Of course, that depends on who’s doing the reporting on that poll and the decision on how to spin the numbers.
USA Today focused on the 42 percent of Americans “alarmed” by the state of things in Washington as found in the USA Today/Suffolk poll released Friday. The publication noted that the “air of angst” was across party lines, affecting both Democrats and Republicans.

But, Â only 11 percent of Americans wanted to keep ObamaCare as it is.

Keep Obamacare 11%
Major fixes 42%
Repeal 44%— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) June 30, 2017
One in ten (!) people think Obamacare is working just fine, and somehow the GOP is still finding a way to botch this repeal process. https://t.co/hzodSDFjJI

Only the GOP would struggle finding the guts to repeal something 89% of the county hates. https://t.co/dkOSF3kK3v

Perhaps GOP should re-brand effort as major overhaul of failing program, no? Address Obama/Dem legacy of failure… https://t.co/QWTogFEjeQ

Twitter users did not seem surprised by the results, or the spin. And, as one aptly concluded:
We hate everybody and everything.
