An overwhelming majority of American voters think the country is headed down the wrong path, according to a new public opinion survey commissioned by Clout Research.The new poll of about 800 likely voters found that only nine of 100 Republicans and 15 of 100 independents believe the country is going in the right direction. A little over 50 percent of self-identified Democrats (51.9 percent) believe the country has taken a turn for the worst while 83.9 percent of independents and 87.4 percent of Republicans hold the same belief.
Despite enjoying a president from their own party, only 44 of 100 Democrats in the survey said they believe the U.S. “is on the right track.”
“The latest WND.com/Clout Research survey shows that the dramatic dissatisfaction that Republican voters toward the Obama administration since early in his first term has spread to include all of Washington,” Fritz Wenzel, a partner at Clout Research, said in a statement accompanying the results.
In the same poll, 92.6 percent of respondents who described themselves as conservative disapproved of the direction of the country while 90.9 percent of respondents who described themselves as liberal shared the same belief.
Overall, 80 percent of respondents described the current state of the economy as “very fragile” or “somewhat fragile” after seven years of President Obama’s economic policies.
The survey of likely U.S. voters was taken between Oct. 15-19 and includes a margin of error plus or minus 3.43 percent.
