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.

I’m kind of astonished there are any Democrats left.
I guess they must be those fabled people who “have no shame.”
Ditch’s fault.
Just another Fake Poll.
The democrats would not stand a chance in an honest election.
More of their lies. It must those 125 year old Wisconsin voters leading in the polls.
If they think we’re “on the wrong track”, why the hell are they going to vote for Marxist democrats? Not very bright. I guess they want to stay on the wrong track.
“The most recent NBC poll saw Republicans close in on Democrats in the above question, with 45% of voters favoring a GOP-controlled Congress in October compared to 46% now. Democrats’ favorability has remained consistent through both”
total bullshit: multiple other polls have the Dems losing generic house races by double digits, in some case as high as 16 points favorable to the GOP ...
The country is headed in the wrong direction, and democrats still edge out republicans in a poll?
No doubt, the poll is fake or very biased, or most people are brain-dead.
The democrats have been fooling people for decades.
They claim to be “inclusive” club for all races and genders.
That is why new legal immigrants gravitate to democrats.
In reality they are always categorizing people.
Democrats claim they are for the poor people.
But they keep it secret from the masses that socialism has never created prosperity anywhere in world.
In summary, what the democrats are selling, sounds good in theory to the people who are poor or disfranchised, but in reality democrat policies keep the poor and disfranchised from advancing.
“if you don’t know who you are votin for, YOU are not a Woman”
The entire purpose of this BS article is to convey to the reader the lie that the Democrats are STILL in the lead regarding the 2022 election.
Well said! But I would add that without their bought-and-paid-for media keeping them afloat, the Democrats would have sunk long ago.
Not at that we trust pools, but I saw one that had Larry Hogan up 12 pts, in Maryland!
They’re gonna give us free stuff, but…they’re kinda screwing up, but…they’re gonna give us free stuff!”
Rigged elections are here to stay. United States of America = Banana Republic
How do they come out ahead at all if they’re screwing up so badly? They’ve lost ground with their own base, and worse with the Independents they so covet.
That is just messed up.
Still leading in the poles, freaking legalized pot
“The entire purpose of this BS article is to convey to the reader the lie that the Democrats are STILL in the lead regarding the 2022 election.”
So when they steal it, they have deniability.
Generic poll is a sample of D+20 these days
America has been headed in the wrong direction since the Civil War. Democrats have been leading the charge all the way back to Andrew Jackson. At least Jackson hated the banks and actually zeroed out the debt for the first time ever.
