Most Americans think the country’s economic and political systems are rigged against them — at levels greater than in several decades, according to an NBC News poll released Thursday.
The new survey found that almost 6 in 10 voters presently feel the economic and political systems are weighted against people such as themselves, which ties a record high share over about 40 years of national polling from NBC News. Of those surveyed, 59% agreed with the statement that both systems are stacked against them, while 38% disagreed and 3% were unsure.
