An astoundingly high percentage of the population thinks we are headed in the wrong direction. The numbers from the SurveyUSA poll show a dissatisfaction that goes across the board. Donkey Rising, has the details:
SurveyUSA recently released a set of fifty statewide surveys that show just how large the constituency for change is becoming. In each state, these surveys asked “In general, do you think the country is headed in the right direction or wrong direction?” When combined and weighted by population, these surveys indicate that, nationwide, just 29 percent of adults think the country is going in the right direction and 66 percent think it is going in the wrong direction. But it is the state-by-state results that provide the really interesting findings. As the SurveyUSA report notes:
In not a single state do 50 percent of adults think the country is headed in the right direction.
In only five states (Utah, Alaska, Idaho, Wyoming and Nebraska) do 40 percent of adults think the country is headed in the right direction.
In twenty-five states, fewer than 30 percent of adults think the country is headed in the right direction.
