Right Direction or Wrong Track 28% Say U.S. Heading in Right Direction Rasmussen Reports Twenty-eight percent (28%) of U.S. Voters now say the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. This is down three points form a week ago and marks the lowest level of confidence in the nation’s current course since the second week of March. Just after passage of the national health care bill in late March, confidence jumped nine points to 35%, due primarily to a burst of enthusiasm among Democratic voters. It was the highest level of optimism measured since early September 2009. Since then, the number of voters who feel this way has steadily declined and is beginning to mirror levels found prior to the passage of health care reform. Sixty percent (60%) of African-American voters feel the country is heading in the right direction, a view shared by just 24% of whites and 21% of voters of other ethnicities. The number of voters of other ethnicities who feel this way about the country is down 10 points from last week, while the number who feel the country is heading down the wrong track is up 12 points. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of all voters now say the nation is heading down the wrong track, the highest level of pessimism measured since the week prior to passage of health care bill. .
