Poll: Only 33% Think America Is Going in the ‘Right Direction’

The Rasmussen Reports survey also found that 61 percent think the country is going in the “wrong” direction, with six percent unsure how they felt. The survey was taken online with 1,500 respondents during the week ending February 16, 2023.

The percentage of respondents who thought the county was going in the “right” direction was down two points from the week prior, with the percentage of respondents believing the country was headed in the “wrong” direction going up one percent.

At the same point one year ago, 29 percent of the respondents said the U.S. was headed in the “right” direction, while 66 percent said it was on the wrong track.

The survey was taken from February 12 to 16, 2023, with 1,500 U.S. likely voters through a national telephone survey. There was also a two percent margin of error and a 95 percent confidence level.

Over the last several weeks, the country has been dealing with inflation, as it was last year; however, it is also dealing with slightly higher tensions with China.
