Will out Republican government make things better in 2018 than they were in 2017? Most Americans don't think so. A significant majority believes things will stay the same or get worse. And they also believe the U.S. will not be more respected in 2018 than 2017. Can the GOP survive in the November elections with the public having such a negative attitude about their governing? I doubt it.
