ALSO NOTE THIS ABOUT THE RIGHT TRACK/WRONG TRACK NUMBERS [09/13 01:08 AM] Kerry Spot [ jim geraghty reporting ] Periodically, an optimistic Kerry supporter will point to the current polling of right track/wrong track numbers. This is where a pollster asks respondents if they think the country is on the right track, or whether things are heading in the wrong direction. Currently, the right track numbers are in the low 40s or so, presumably not what an incumbent president would want. But then again, maybe it's not that useful an indicator: HUME: Let's go back to right track/wrong track. How do you assess that? That in the past — at least in the past some of the time has been a pretty good sense of where the public wants to go. DOWD: Again, you look at the right track/wrong track numbers from previous presidential campaigns. Ronald Reagan's in 1984 had a right track/wrong track number in the high 40s. Bill Clinton had a right track number on Election Day of 39 percent and won the race. There's a fun talking point for the Bush camp: "More Americans think the country is on the right track today than on Election Day 1996!"
