That's not what I've been seeing on the BBC coverage on PBS. Not, of course, that the politicians in DC have been known for much better in recent years up until the current group in the House.
I can see MPs voting no on the rotten deal that Brussels gave Theresa. Yesterday's vote was a head scratcher. Not to mention the question, why hasn't someone in rhe government been negotiating trade deals with Canada and Australia in the last 2 years? What have they been doing that's more important than having two deals ready to go on day one?
So due to recent developments the US media is pretty much playing it up as if Brexit is done for and isn't going to happen. Is that how you're seeing it over on your side of the pond as well?
Given how poor your media was in predicting the rise and success of Donald Trump I'd be wary of believing much of what it writes and says.
Brexit is in a bitter battle for survival but it is far from being done for.
There's a long way to go yet ....

The government has been scurrying around the globe trying to sign deals ready to go post Brexit, but successes have been limited so far to say the least.
BBC News - Brexit: What trade deals has the UK done so far?
That's because negotiating and signing trade deals is actually quite a difficult and lengthy process, something people did point out two years ago when the Leave supporting trade secretary Liam Fox said it would be simple and that he would have dozens of FTAs signed and ready to come into force by Brexit day.

How long after Brexit will it take for Britain to be great again?
Well,in you original post you attached a poll in which more than twice as many people thought that Brexit wouldn't lead to the end of the UK.
Having got a definitive answer to that question this looks to me like another lame attempt to stir the pot.
Do try harder old sport.

Trade deals with the 'Old Commonwealth' will go nowhere near to replacing the loss of EU open trade borders.
Forget USA. Own interests will not be necessary in British interests.
I wouldn't write off the USA. Post-Trump the UK may be able to get a half decent trade deal.

The same amount of time it's going to take to make America great again.
