Americans are angrier with the government than they’ve been in years, and almost equally as unhappy with their choices in the 2016 race, a new Associated Press poll released Monday shows.

Over 70 percent of Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, while nearly 80 percent is dissatisfied or angry with the way the federal government is working.

Americans’ current displeasure with government is all the more stark given their relative optimism about and satisfaction with their own lives. Just as many who are angry with the federal government are happy with their career, while over 80 percent are enthusiastic or satisfied with their personal and family relationships.

Politicians “on both sides of the aisle are to blame because they just can’t get anything done. They just fundraise and get contributions from special interests,” John Santoro, a 58-year-old market development manager from California, told AP in a follow-up interview.

A driving factor in Americans’ frustrations with the federal government is Congress, upon which most Americans look with particular contempt. Nearly 9 out of 10 said they disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job. A full 50 percent disapprove strongly of Congress’s performance.

“There are too many lobbyists and people who are not really working for the people anymore. They’re working to line their own pockets,” Greg Boire, a bank customer service representative from Michigan, told AP.

Comparatively, Americans are split by their views on Obama: 50 percent approve of his performance while 50 percent disapprove. However, 30 percent of Americans disapprove strongly of Obama’s handling of his job, while only 24 percent approve strongly.

Americans are even less enthusiastic about the current crop of candidates than they are about Obama’s job performance. From Clinton to Cruz and everyone in between, a majority of Americans said the current candidates represent their own positions only slightly or not well at all. Furthermore, a majority of Americans has unfavorable views about every single candidate in the 2016 race except for John Kasich.

But the Kasich campaign has little about which to celebrate — while only roughly a third hold unfavorable opinions about Kasich, just as many say they don’t know enough about him to make up their minds.

Kasich’s wasn’t the only campaign to receive disappointing news from the new poll. A full 50 percent of respondents said they would be angry or disappointed if Hillary Clinton were to be the Democratic nominee, while fewer than 3 out of 10 said they were excited or satisfied with the prospect.

Trump fared even worse in the poll: Less than 20 percent said they were excited or satisfied at the prospect of Trump being the Republican nominee, while nearly two-thirds said they were angry or disappointed at the idea.

Indeed, if the general election were to come down to Clinton versus Trump, a full third of Americans said they would either vote for a third party or not vote at all.
