A vast majority of Americans are unhappy with the direction their country is going in under President Joe Biden's watch and think the political climate is too polarized to get meaningful progress done, a dire new poll released on Sunday shows.
A survey conducted by NBC News between January 14 and 18 shows that 72 percent of Americans think the United States is off on the wrong track, while just 22 percent believe it's headed in the right direction.
That's relatively unchanged from the last time the poll was taken in October when 71 percent of respondents felt the same -- meaning the president's $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill and attempts to pass federal voting laws and Build Back Better failed to inspire confidence in Americans.
Throughout the NBC poll's history, public dissatisfaction with the country's future climbed above 70 percent only six times -- each time it occurred during an election year coincided with a new majority in Congress the following November.
'In the three instances when this sustained dark outlook coincided with an election year, it foreshadowed bad news for the party in power — 1992, 2008 and 2016,' Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates told the outlet.
Americans also appear more pessimistic than ever about the state of democracy, with 76 percent believing it is under threat. More than seven in every ten Republicans, Democrats and Independents shared the sentiment.

“democrats still edge out Republicans … brain dead”
Starting to think Mittens was right. They start out with 47% no matter what they do. Hold you upside down and shake your pockets at the gas pump, in the store, get mugged in the parking lot … Still, legions of mouth-open Neanderthals at the polling stations, their crayons coloring the box next to Democrat. McAwful lost with 48% in Virginia.
You don’t understand the derangment of over 40% of the country. Newsmax had a focus group and Mark Halperin almot passed out when they said Andrew Cuomo was the best leader during the pandemic.
3/4 of the country thinks we are going downhill but half are still willing to ride the mine car?
ya think??
If the country was really that deranged, Deep State wouldn’t have to steal elections, would it...
Keep in mind that a significant percentage of those who say “wrong track” really mean “not enough socialism and CRT”.
If you think rooting out vote fraud will solve all our problems, you are mistaken. Half the electorate has been brainwashed.
Barely ahead is still ahead. All by design to give the illusion of “self government” and “consent of the governed.”
The Headline is deceiving. 8 out of 10 generic House polls have the GOP ahead, with one tie.
