(The Hill) – A recent poll from ABC News, The Washington Post, and Ipsos reveals that two-thirds of Americans believe the nation is veering down an unfavorable path.

Conducted last week, the poll indicates that 67 percent of participants feel the country is “seriously off on the wrong track,” while 32 percent hold the opposite view, thinking that things are “generally going in the right direction.”

There is a notable partisan split within the findings. A majority of Democrats and independents, 95 percent and 77 percent respectively, express dissatisfaction with the nation’s trajectory. In contrast, only 29 percent of Republicans share this concern.

Breaking it down further, 87 percent of Black individuals, 71 percent of both Hispanic and Asian respondents, and 61 percent of white participants perceive the country’s direction negatively.

This survey marks a decrease from November 2024, just before the election, when 75 percent believed the nation was on the wrong track.

Additionally, the poll highlights a widespread sentiment that both major political parties are disconnected from the issues that matter most to Americans.

This trend is particularly true for the Democratic Party, which is viewed by 68 percent of respondents as “out of touch” and only 30 percent as “in touch” with most people’s concerns in the U.S. today.

Sixty-one percent view the Republican Party as out of touch, while 37 percent say it’s in touch; 63 percent say Trump is out of touch, while 36 percent say he’s in touch with the concerns of most Americans.

The survey, conducted Oct. 24-28, included 2,725 adults, with a margin of error of 1.9 percentage points.
