Number Who Says U.S. Heading in Right Direction Slips to Lowest Level Since February

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Thirty-two percent (32%) of likely voters believe the United States is heading in the right direction, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

While that’s only down two points over the past week, it’s the lowest level found on the question since mid-February.

Sixty-two percent (62%) of voters say the country is moving down the wrong track, up a point from last week and also the highest level since February.

The percentage of voters who believe the country is moving in the right direction spiked at 40% in early May but hovered around 37% through June before slipping to 34% last week.

Still, the percentage of voters who say the nation is heading in the right direction is up 10 points from the week Barack Obama was elected president in November and up five points from the week he was inaugurated in January.

On the flipside, the number who believes the country is heading down the wrong track is down 10 points from the week of the presidential election and down one point from the week in January that Obama became president.

Fifty-three percent (53%) of Democrats now say the nation is heading in the right direction, down seven points over the past week. Only 12% of Republicans and 25% of voters not affiliated with either party agree, showing little change from the previous survey.

Forty-five percent (45%) of adults believe the economy will be stronger a year from now, up three points from May and six points from the first of the year.

Twenty-nine percent (29%) of adults now say the value of their home will go down in the next year, while 20% believe the value will go up in that same period. Forty-nine percent (49%) expect their home’s value to stay about the same.

Following the first two days of confirmation hearings for Judge Sonia Sotomayor, voters overwhelmingly expect her to be confirmed for the U.S. Supreme Court but remain divided as to whether she should be.

Voters still rank the economy as the top issue facing the nation, but interest in health care rebounded over the past month. Voters now trust the GOP more to handle eight out of 10 key issues, including the economy.

Forty-six percent (46%) of voters now favor the health care reform proposal being developed by congressional Democrats and President Obama. Forty-nine percent (49%) are opposed.

Republican congressional candidates lead Democrats for the third straight week in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.
