There is no special insight in saying the American electorate is deeply unhappy with our political leadership, the economy, and the direction of the country. But, as pollsters, we do keep looking to find new and insightful ways to measure this discontent and compare it across time.
Even after a decade of a plurality to majority of Americans saying the country is headed off on the “wrong track,” I keep trying to reinforce the historic nature of today’s discontent, as in, the worst measured in the last 20-plus years. CONT.
