Two-thirds of Americans say US is 'pretty seriously' on wrong track: Poll

(The Hill) – A recent poll by ABC News, The Washington Post, and Ipsos reveals that two-thirds of Americans believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction.

Conducted last week, the survey indicates that 67% of participants feel the country has “pretty seriously” deviated off course, while 32% maintain a more positive outlook, suggesting things are “generally going in the right direction.”

The data underscores a stark partisan divide. A significant majority of Democrats and independents—95% and 77%, respectively—express discontent with the nation’s trajectory. In contrast, only 29% of Republicans share this sentiment.

Analyzing the demographics, 87% of Black respondents, 71% of both Hispanic and Asian participants, and 61% of white Americans believe the country is veering off track.

This poll reflects a decline from November 2024, just before the election, when 75% felt the nation was on the wrong path.

Additionally, the survey highlights a widespread perception that both political parties are disconnected from the priorities of most 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.
