The results of a recent poll reveal that the majority of Americans have less faith when it comes to dealing with the drug problem in the United States than at any time in history.
According to a recent Gallup survey conducted Oct. 2–23 and released Nov. 10, 52 percent of America’s adults said they believe the United States is “losing ground” in its effort to deal with the mounting problem of illegal drugs. Only 24 percent—a record low—believe the United States has made progress in handling the issue, while 23 percent say the effort is at a stand-still. According to Gallup, these are the worst numbers seen since the outlet began tracking the issue.
