VOTERS EXPRESS EXTENSIVE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL DISCONTENT
• Voters by 65-31 percent say the country is headed seriously off on the
wrong track rather than in the right direction. "Wrong track" numbers
are 12 points more negative than two years ago, and are their second
highest in available exit poll data back to 1990, trailing only the
discontent of the 2008 election. "Wrong track" sentiment in past midterm elections has related strongly to losses by the incumbent president's party.
How does either party rectify this? Will the President work with the congress, or does he know better and will executive action be his M.O. the next 2 years?
