Punch line: 25% of Americans Say U.S. Heading In Right Direction, Lowest Since Obama Took Office

Excerpted from Rasmussen: Right Direction or Wrong Track, March 03, 2010

Just 25% of U.S. voters now say the country is heading in the right direction, the lowest level of voter confidence since early January 2009.

69% believe the nation is heading down the wrong track, the highest level measured in 14 months.

These findings mirror those in a separate survey  that shows views of the country’s short- and long-term economic future are gloomier than they have been at any time since President Obama took office in January of last year.

Leading up to his inauguration a year ago, the number of voters who felt the country was heading in the right direction remained below 20%.

The week of his inauguration, voter confidence rose to 27% and then steadily increased, peaking at 40% in early May 2009. Confidence has declined since.
