A newly released NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll reveals that a sizeable majority of Americans now feel like the country is headed in the wrong direction.
According to the survey, "Six-in-10 Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, and nearly 70 percent of them have negative opinions on the state of the nation today," NBC News reported.
A Rasmussen survey published Jan. 21 found that just 33 percent of Americans believe the country is on the right track, down 3 percent from the previous week and way down from 43 percent in December.
The same NBC/WSJ survey has the president's approval rating at a healthy 43 percent; Rasmussen has the president at 45 percent approval.
A closer look at Rasmussen's survey results over the past two years regarding the overall attitude among Americans about the direction of the country reveals that it changed - 180 degrees - from the moment Donald Trump won the 2016 election.
Rasmussen reports that the percentage of Americans who believed the country was heading in the right direction during the final year of Obama's administration was in the 20s, but the percentage quickly rose to the 40s when Trump became president.
The polling data from NBC/WSJ and Rasmussen make two things abundantly clear: The president's supporters are still solidly with him; and the mood over the direction the country is headed dramatically soured after Democrats won the House, helped caused the shutdown, and then followed it up with their usual brand of obstructionist politics.
