Majority of Americans believe U.S. on wrong track: poll

bg pollAn “overwhelming” majority of Americans believe the U.S. is on the wrong track, according to a poll from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

โ€œThough the American public is as divided as it has been all year, as we head into the 2014 general elections the advantage among likely voters is flowing toward Republicans,โ€ said Christopher Arterton, poll director and GW professor of political management, in a press release.

โ€œDespite the public’s antipathy toward Congress, particularly toward the Republican leadership in the House, President Obama has become a lightening rod for discontent on a number of fronts,” he said. “Strong majorities disapprove of the job heโ€™s doing on the federal budget and spending (61 percent), in foreign policy (58 percent), on working with Congress (57 percent) and on immigration (57 percent).โ€

The poll was conducted in partnership with The Tarrance Group and Lake Research Partners.
