Populus Perspective

A new US poll puts the proportion of Americans thinking that their country is ‘on the wrong track’ at its highest level since 1992, when the current President’s Father was in the Oval Office. Seventy-five percent think America is going in the wrong direction, according to the survey by Harris Interactive, while only 15% think the country is on the right track – a level of dissatisfaction with the status quo that explains why all the various candidates, from both parties, aspiring to be the next US President have in one way or another tried to present themselves this year as the candidate of change.
