Republicans’ outlook on the United States plunged this past month after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, adding to the growing resentment from a majority of Americans about the state of the economy, immigration, foreign policy, and more.
Polling conducted on September 10, the day Kirk was killed, found that Republicans' optimism about the country dropped to 49 percent. That’s more than 20 percentage points down from how Republicans felt in June, according to the AP-NORC poll.
