<< Right Direction/ Wrong Track

Survey of 3,000 Likely Voters

USA
Right Direction 42%
Wrong Track 54% >>

These are better numbers than when Clinton won in '96. Just because the country is moving in the wrong direction, doesn't mean that people think it is within the president's control. For example, 9/11 was obviously not within Bush's control and the bust that followed the boom from the '90s was obviously not something that Bush could control.

The right track/wrong track numbers do not appear to be meaningful. When Clinton was re-elected in 1996 he had a right track number of only 39%.

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.
