Most say nation on wrong track, including Dems: AP-NORC poll

WASHINGTON (AP) — An overwhelming and growing majority of Americans say the U.S. is heading in the wrong direction, including nearly 8 in 10 Democrats, according to a new poll that finds deep pessimism about the economy plaguing President Joe Biden.

Eighty-five percent of U.S. adults say the country is on the wrong track, and 79% describe the economy as poor, according to a new survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The findings suggest Biden faces fundamental challenges as he tries to motivate voters to cast ballots for Democrats in November’s midterm elections.

Inflation has consistently eclipsed the healthy 3.6% unemployment rate as a focal point for Americans, who are dealing with high gasoline and food prices. Even among Democrats, 67% call economic conditions poor.

“He’s doing the best he can — I can’t say he’s doing a good job,” said Chuck McClain, 74. “But his opposition is so bad. I just don’t feel the Democratic Congress is doing enough.”

The Las Vegas resident is a loyal Democrat who said he doesn't miss an election, but he said the price of gas and groceries, Russia's war in Ukraine and the country's deep political divides have led more Americans to feel as though Washington is unresponsive to their needs.

“My wife and I are very frustrated with where the country is headed, and we don’t have a lot of hope for the political end of it to get any better,” he said.

Republicans are unhappy the country has moved leftward. Democrats are unhappy the country hasn’t moved leftward enough.

Brandon junta does not care and does not give a damn. They clearly rely on the upcoming stolen election to continue and complete the destruction of our republic.

Republicans maybe unhappy about it but their worthless so-called leaders won’t do anything about it.

I remember a lot of wrong track polls in the 70s but this is the first time I can remember one above 80. 85, Wow! And it’s not at the end of a four or 8 year presidency but less than a year and a half into a first term. Again, Wow!

Biden’s RCP 8 poll approval/disapproval metric sits at -19.3 which is an all time low reading for his presidency and pretty sure it’s an all time low for ANYONES presidency!

Dems probably think we are on the wrong track because not everyone can kill babies anymore.

Biden is a Deep State stooge and his biggest challenge is how to balance what the Deep State is telling him and what the global radical leftists are telling him.

This old hippy’s brains must be scrambled eggs from too much dope smoking. That makes no sense, but then leftists never do.

“Democrat/communists turn on Joey”; Surrender Monkeys hardest hit.

How can they spin this into proof that the rodents hold the House and Senate by cheating?

Stay tuned.
