Wrong Direction Says 61% of Americans

No politician in Washington D.C can get a break in this political climate. A new WNBC/Marist poll shows that 61% of Americans believe that this country is headed in the wrong direction. Only 34% believe that the U.S is headed in the right direction, which means that only 5% of the respondents didn't have a clear answer.

It's pretty clear that those participating in the poll understood that they were essentially being asked whether they supported or opposed the policies of the federal government. 34% is less than the entire population of registered Republicans. However, it's pretty clear that the majority of Republicans responded positively to the question.
