Poll: Only 27% say America is heading in the right direction
According to a poll published yesterday by Rasmussen Reports, only 27% of likely voters say the United States is heading in the right direction, while 67% say the country is headed in the wrong direction. Rasmussen’s polls have shown that a consistently low percentage of voters feel the country is headed in the right direction — the figure was below 20% prior to President Obama’s inauguration.
The poll also reveals an ongoing disconnect between what Rasmussen calls the “political class” and the rest of us: 65% of the political class say the country is heading in the right direction, while 82% of mainstream voters say it’s going in the wrong direction.
