Are things in the country going well? For the last six years, most Americans' answer to that question had been negative. But a new poll now says that 50% of Americans now say they think the state of the country is positive – up from 35% who said the same thing a year ago. CNN has the full story:
As the stock market continues to show record highs, the number of Americans who say things are going well in the country has reached 50% for the first time in more than six years, according to a new national survey.
But that doesn’t mean the country is entirely out of the woods yet. The CNN/ORC International poll released Friday indicates that an equal 50% say the country is in bad shape.
“The number continues an upward pattern since the summer of last year, when only 35% were optimistic about the country’s conditions,” said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
