"Continuing a two-decade trend, most Americans remain dissatisfied with the way things are going in the US -- 23% say they are satisfied, and 76% are dissatisfied," the pollster said.
Forty-eight percent are "very dissatisfied," down from the record-high 66% measured in January 2021.
The 23% of those satisfied is an increase from the 17% recorded in January 2022 and the 11% registered in January 2021.
The poll also showed a divide along partisan lines.
"While a larger proportion of Democrats are 'somewhat' (36%) rather than 'very' (28%) dissatisfied, the largest shares of independents (46%) and Republicans (75%) are very dissatisfied," it said.
The poll was conducted from January 2-22 among 1,001 adults from all US states and the District of Columbia. The margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
