Have Americans all become doomers?

It feels like democrats always think we're doing badly when republicans are in charge. Republicans always think we're doing badly when democrats are in charge. And independents just think things are going badly all the time no matter who is in charge.

I think that's been a sentiment for the human race for centuries now. People forget how doom and gloom things were in the middle ages and the religious fights against infidels, heathens and witches to the modern religion called science and how the human over population problem of the 80's and climate change debate of the last 20 years. Who can really predict the future and know if anything will eventually destroy us?

@LordShadowfire Most people treat science and religion as two different things, but if you look how people use/misuse science you will find a lot of parallels of how people have used/misused religion. In it's effect on people's everyday lives science is just the newest religion.
