Despite Sky-High Approval of Obama, Democrats Are Growing Wary Of The Nation's Futrure

Posted Dec 15, 2008 at 12:47 PM by Maurice Berger

Despite record high approval ratings for President-Elect Obama, party members are growing increasingly pessimistic about the nation's future. According to a new Rasmussen survey, "just 22% of Democrats now say the nation is heading in the right direction, down from an average of 27% for the full month of November." The poll also found that just 15% of Republicans and 13% of unaffiliated voters say the nation is heading in the right direction. Overall, a staggering 79% of Republicans, 69% of Democrats and 80% of unaffiliated voters now say America is heading down the wrong track.
