Nation on wrong track, 66% tell poll
Two out of three Americans think the country is on the wrong track, according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Only 22% of Americans think the country is moving in the right direction, while 66% think it’s on the wrong track, the poll of 1,004 adults taken April 20 to 23 showed. The poll had a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
That compared with 58% who saw the country heading down the wrong track and 25% who saw it moving in the right direction in a NBC/WSJ poll taken in March. NBC News said the poll numbers pointed to one compelling reason why that should be the case: the war in Iraq. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed said the war could not be won.
