Public Opinion Strategies’ Election Night Poll shows the 2014 election was defined by major dissatisfaction about the direction of the country, the economy, and President Obama:
- On Election Day, roughly two-thirds (65%) of voters said the country is headed off on the wrong track.
- The weekend before the election 64% of voters said they were dissatisfied with the state of the U.S. economy.
- In the national exit polls, President Obama’s job approval was 44% on Election Day, exactly matching his job approval on Election Day in 2010.
- By a roughly two-to-one margin, people say they voted as a signal to oppose rather than to support President Obama (17% support/32% oppose). CONT.
