The voter optimism of the past few months has stalled in the new national poll of 1,000 likely voters that we posted this week and may once again be headed in the wrong direction.
Over the past few months, more and more voters thought that the US was headed in the right direction, but this month the wrong track exceeded right direction 48% to 47%.
This perception is totally polarized by politics.
Joe Biden’s 2020 voters say the country is headed in the right direction 79% to 16%, but Trump 2020 voters say that the US is on the wrong track 84% to 13%.
The same is true by party and ideology.
Democrats and liberals say that we’re headed in the right direction 80%-15% and 75%-20%, respectively.
In contrast Republicans and conservatives say that we’re on the wrong track 78%-20% and 79%-19%, respectively.
But, in the middle, pessimism may be helping Republicans as the undecided voters for Congress say that the US is on the wrong track 47%-33%; independents 55%-39% and suburban voters 53%-44% also say wrong track.
With the right direction stalled and wrong track growing again, President Biden’s job approval is stuck, too.
Last month, Biden’s job approval was 56% to 43% disapprove.
This month, it’s approve 55% to disapprove 44%. Similarly Biden’s favorable to unfavorable rating is 54% to 45%.
These are pretty high negatives for a president who gets overwhelmingly positive media coverage.
Although we polled right before Vice President Kamala Harris made her long awaited trip to the Southern U.S. border, Harris’ favorable to unfavorable rating remains polarized with exactly the same 47% to 48% rating that she had last month.
Independents 44%-48%, white voters 37%-59%, married voters 44%-53%, suburban voters 45%-51% and even women 46%-49% give Harris net negative ratings and do not like her.
