| Description | Americans remain cranky about economic issues such as jobs and gasoline prices, but have become more optimistic about their own personal futures, political pollsters said this week.
'There is not any one thing that may be driving down the American spirit, but there are a number of things that have not gone well. All those things add up to a mild case of crankiness,' said Andrew Kohut, polling director of the Pew Research Center.
'I don't think things are surging or plummeting? in either direction, Mr. Kohut added. Still, he said, 'the public is displeased with the way things are going in the country right now.'
A nationwide survey of registered voters for the Hotline political newsletter, released Thursday, reported that 56 percent think the country is on the "wrong track," compared with 30 percent who say "right track," a five-percentage-point decline since February. |
