WASHINGTON, July 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Weary of political gridlock in Washington, but determined to find solutions to the nation's most pressing issues, Americans hope a collaboration between entities closer to home – state and local governments, businesses, nonprofits or individuals – will move the country forward, according to a new Heartland Monitor Poll released today by The Allstate Corporation (NYSE: ALL) and Atlantic Media.
As the 2016 general election campaign kicks off, the 26th Allstate-Atlantic Media Heartland Monitor Poll gauges Americans' opinions on current trends shaping the country, including our most important issues, our greatest opportunities and challenges and where we look for solutions. The results reveal an engaged citizenry that believes key national issues such as political gridlock, education and national security make this election more important than past contests (63 percent).
A growing disillusionment with the federal government's effectiveness, however, means people aren't waiting for D.C. to address their everyday issues.
"We've been asking Americans for eight years which issues are most important to them, and we heard loud and clear in Heartland 26 they believe it'll take non-traditional partnerships at the local level to move the country forward," said Bill Vainisi, senior vice president and deputy general counsel, Law and Regulation, Allstate. "While people continue to look to the federal government for large-scale change, we realize that takes time. As a network of small businesses in nearly every community in America, Allstate knows how critical local innovators are to improving lives from the ground up."
Americans believe partisan politics are impeding progress when it comes to the nation's most concerning problems, though there is an overall belief in the resiliency of the American people.
While Americans are frustrated by inaction in Washington and remain uncertain about the country's economic future, they feel more optimistic toward their personal financial situations.
The political division on the national level is driving engagement among Americans, many of whom perceive the upcoming election as more important and potentially more impactful than past elections.
"These findings signal that after years of stalemate and partisan paralysis in Washington, most Americans' first instinct now is to look for change instigated from the bottom up rather than the top down," said Ronald Brownstein, Atlantic Media's editorial director for strategic partnerships. "The political credo the poll suggests might be summarized as: argue nationally, act locally."

Survey Methodology
The 26th installment of the Allstate/Atlantic Media Heartland Monitor Poll, conducted June 19-24, 2016, comprises questions asked in the final months leading up to the 2016 presidential election: How do Americans view the current trends shaping the country? What are the biggest problems and who do we look towards to fix the issues? Will the 2016 Presidential election make a difference? The survey was conducted among a national sample of 1,000 American adults age 18+, with 500 reached via cell phone and 500 reached via landline. The margin of error for a sample of 1,000 is +/- 3.1 in 95 out of 100 cases.
