Description | The economy is still in the tank, with only glimmers of hope. But a new poll suggests that President Obama's personal appeal is lifting the spirits of Americans.
The Associated Press-GfK survey released today found that for the first time in more than five years, more respondents believe America is on the right track than the wrong track.
In the poll, 48 percent said the country is headed in the right direction rose to 48 percent, up from 40 percent in February, while 44 percent say the nation is on the wrong track. Still, it's the first majority for "right direction" since January 2004, shortly after the capture of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. |
