Just 4% of Republicans and 16% of independents describe themselves as satisfied with the way things are going. Even Democrats are feeling the strain, with only 29% expressing satisfaction, down from 36% at the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n<h3>Previous Years<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon for Americans to name the government as their top concern, according to previous Gallup polls.
