You Know It's Bad In Europe When...
...more Italian, Spanish, and Greek citizens believe their country is heading in the wrong direction than Ukrainians!!!
Bonus highlight... 62% of Americans are dissatisfied with the way things are going compared to only 36% of Russians...

Where's North Korea??? ;-)
USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!
Globalization, Free Trade Agreement, The Euro,... Just look where all that BS got us!!!!!
Russia and the BRICS, the hope of the world.
you just know the USA has to pull its shit together when a country like Bangladesh has a 16% lead on it
actually the ukraine result is probably explainable - im sure there's 10% of them that retain naive delusional hope that the recent CIA fostered revolution will turn out ok. Retake the poll in about 3 months and see how its slipped
I guess since the Scotland vote isn't till next thursday, they didn't make the list.
I'm pretty sure this chart is bullshit.
Why you ask?
Well Squid, good question. It's bullshit because if it was a good chart, Beglium would be on top where 99% where pretty sure our country is going into the wrong direction as our government already announced that our taxes will rise spectacular and strikes or riots won't change the course they already prepared.
West Africans are running in all directions.
Yeah, that will help.
FSA army was not included in this poll
Yeah, stupid. What's even more amazing what I wouldn't have believed if you'd asked me 5 years ago is that many Spanish and Italians are moving here to Hungary because of work! Can you guys imagine?
America! Fuck Yeah!!!
So... US Sanctions are having a bigger effect on Ukraine than on Russia?
How is this supposed to destabilize Putin's government? Somebody better change Brzezinski's and Kissinger's bibs and Depends, please, and read them a nice bedtime story.
If they think it's bad now, they are in for a very unpleasant surprise.
10 years from now, these will be the good old days.
Ah, Dimitri, back in 2014 I had the whole garbage can to myself. Now, I have to share with a pack of wolves.
Zorba knows hard times. When Zorba was but 14 years old, to make ends meet, his
parents signed Zorba up to be the cabin boy on a Greek Vasoline tanker.
Taking it up the ass is the new wheel.
One thing about human nature I have never understood is how come no one ever questions suffering?
For example, I am confident that everyone has heard the phrase "Had it good for too long."
With that in mind, how come NO ONE ever says "Had it BAD for too long"?
Why are we so accepting of letting the future become an ever increasing shittier shit sandwich?
Just a silly question for an increasingly silly world.
I've essentially said that (in a job interview even). Mouth full of bad teeth, and knocking on 15 years of dead end minimum wage jobs (or barely above, but not for the area).
I can't tell you the number of businesses that have tried to paint a rosy picture of a ladder to climb when being hired, only to discover that to move up a notch, will require waiting 20 years+ for the people above me to retire (who aren't, and won't; since they can't afford to).
The only slice of the american dream I still retain, is ownership of a working vheicle. I could literally decide tomorrow morning to say, "F**k my crap job, I'm heading for the oil patch." It seems, increasingly, that millenials have decided to surrender that sense of freedom in exhange for smartphones. Loss of personal mobility is definately worth being able to be distracted ALL THE TIME.
The only thing I don't get, is why employers are putting up with this cellphone distraction BS.
Two points you should analyse:
1) Millennials have been notorious for having unrealistic expectations, thinking that promotions are theirs every 6 months.
2) America might gravitate back to the rest of the world, but that also leaves opportunity for the places moving up to meet the USA. Find yourself there!
The North Koreans were reported as having been told that 0% of them were dissatisfied
Yep...North Koreans, survey after survey proves them to be the most satisfied people on earth. ;-)
The accuracy of the results are right up there with the BLS employment survey.
The NK's just snorted a line of meth off the survey and then proceeded to clean all the dirty writing off the piece of paper.
Satisfaction comes in many forms.
I believe the Chinese were encouraged to report their satisfaction also. I wouldn't
want to be one of the 8% and be found out.
I think that in China and N. Korea, there is a right answer and a wrong answer to that question.
Also it is interesting that US and Mexico are about the same percent, yet Mexico should be much lower as it seems everybody there is headed in the "right" direction -- toward the US border!
But Spain and Italy are doing better than the Lebanese. That must mean something.
Lebanons usual population is 3 million. Currently there are 2 million extra Syrians camped there fleeing war.
A good majority of the Lebanese actually support their govt (and Hezbollah simultaneously - they understand both has a role to play) - this 95% dissatisfaction is from a whole bunch of other stuff
I understand this graphic.
I am one of these spanish who think that things are very wrong...worse...it sucks
We need to wait when USA take 1st place...
Again "word on the street is those who caught this market wave are cashing out and getting the hell out of the USA."
Granted it's anecdotal but given the whole "4th Reich" mentality these days the go-getters are getting the hell out is an ominous sign for just what this market rally portends once the music stops.
"Love in the time of (economic) Cholera" comes to mind.
I don't care about anything unless it is too late.
I used to think the USA was REALLY the best place on Earth. Now, a complete fucking disaster!
congratulations on waking up. Srsly, No sarc.
You are entitled to your opinion, now I am entitled to mine. If you are an American, then get the hell out and move to Russia or some other place. If you are not an American, then what your view is doesn't matter as much. I'll be the first to say the USA has a lot of faults any more, but by damn, I have no motivation to move and go somewhere else. I believe no polling results from Russia as long as Putin is in power, and it is a typical ZH move to try to rationalize this kind of result as a comparison about how bad the USA is compared to Russia. If things were so great with the Soviets, why is eastern Europe rising in unison against Putin. Putin and ISIS are only the latest bogeymen to justify the defense spending levels, but even so, I have no inclination whatsoever to go visit these places, live there, vacation there, none of it. Glorify Russia all you want, it is still largely Siberia, it is still a Federation formed largely over time by military conquest, but they have no economic or political models I want us to adopt, even with all of our faults. It's cold or snow and ice much of the time there. It may have natural resources, but USA does too.
Putin got away with shit in Ukraine, Estonia will not be as easy a prize. He guarantees a war if he tries to continue to muscle in, many see him as the 21st century Hitler, another invasion(incursion) or 2 should solidify that reputation of him soundly. And if so, ZH will be one of his last remaining proponents.
only 77% dissatisfied in France, but only 13% satisfied with our president, i don't know why we don't have much more disatisfied ... everyone is waiting him to leave here ... just wondering if we will see another revolution, we must be first on the responding !!!
When the batteries go dead in the remote and there are not more to buy....that is when the revolutions will start.
This says more about Ukranians than Europeans. I think the word is delusional.
What does it say about the greeks. When do they revolt. Are they waiting for a unanimous decision.
Revolting is hard work. This is the answer to your question, never.
...especially when the people you must revolt aginast are in Brussels.
The Greek are really busy trying to rebuild their society. All sorts of civil organizations are popping up everywhere ranging from soup kitchens to organic markets to organizations that cut out the middle men and that offer fair prices to both producers and consumers. These are grass roots organizations trying to help people. People that are helping themselves and that give a big middle finger to the government revolt more than people that demonstrate outside parliament. Let people themselves run their communities and societies and soon there is no need for a central government.
They already have revolted, But tight controlled Media and Government actions by the Praetorian Guard ensures the Populous are firmly under the yoke of the Mis-Elected Politicians.
GREECE IS UNDER OCCUPATION.
Where is Canada on this chart or does anyone even care??
We came in at 1% dissatisfied...and they felt bad about it and quickly apologized to the person taking the survey.
They were asked but they all answered 'eh'
Probably the same place as most of us in the great land of Oz Hindsight.
With our heads firmly planted up our own arse.
Seriously it's like everyone here is watching what's happening like it's the god damn Trueman Show
You know what else is at 62% in the USA....our labor force participation rate.
sauce ? Method ?
Take the elderberries and slow simmer them until they reduce into a mush, but keep adding water slwoly to make sure things don't burn.
The Euro-zone is engaged in a talkathon, with fear of an immediate collapse off the table the members of the Euro-zone much like their political counterparts in America just talk about solutions without any action.
For us in America news from across the pond dribbles out in small doses with almost daily media boost of promises that things are about to get better. Now with war a possibility they can only just keep talking. For more on all of "what is not happening" see the article below. The article delves into the way they continue to position themselves waiting for the next crisis.

Here's the solution (to everything).
Spain gov. buying 1 million euro worth of RIOT GEAR.
http://rt.com/news/186352-spain-riot-gear-protests/
"The new measures won't bring any improvement for the economy inside the eurozone area and they know it. The economic elites and their political puppets will pursue a 'successful' completion of the experiment in Greece so that to expand it through the whole eurozone and this is their primary target. Empowering the real economy and especially small-medium businesses, reducing unemployment, will be catastrophic factors for the successful completion of the experiment, so these won't happen."

What does a populous get if it hits 100?
Fantasy Football, March Madness, World Cup, European Cup, et cetera
PUBLIC EXECUTIONS????
What caught my eye is the 18 percent of Palestinians who evidently are happy with the way things are going.
It's fitting that the US should be edged out by Mexico. Over the last few years more Americans have moved to Mexico than Mexicans have moved to the US. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/22/world/americas/for-migrants-new-land-o...
Be a contrarian is perhaps not a bad idea sometimes...
Weird metric. Assumption is that everyone is starting from the same point. False assumption...
It's very hard to get really representative stats. But the numbers seem telling enough assuming that these "ball park" figures may be off by give or take 10%.
The significance of this chart to me is simply that there are so many majorities in so many countries who think their own governments are getting it wrong.
What does this say about the democratic electoral processes in the first place?
It's probably reasonable to assume that if each country's "other party" had won their last election and were now in power, the numbers would not be too different. Because elected governments - whatever they say during election campaigns - when they win office, they throw away all the election promises and bring out their real agenda. This is no more stark in Western countries than when it comes to foreign and economic policies.
It comes down to governments being given much less power and people having for more control over what they do when in office.
You left out the possibility of organised ELECTORAL FRAUD. With the "Modern Gallop pre-election predictions" in connivance with the PRESSTITUTES.
Where is the source of this study??
