Record 90 percent of voters say country is seriously off track.»

According to a new ABC poll, 90 percent of registered voters say the country is going in the wrong direction. Only 23 percent approve of President Bush:

Given the global economic crisis, a record 90 percent of registered voters say the country is seriously off on the wrong track, the most since this question first was asked in 1973. At 23 percent, Bush’s job approval rating has fallen below Nixon’s lowest; it’s a point away from the lowest in 70 years of polling, set by Harry Truman in early 1952. Bush’s disapproval, meanwhile, is at an all-time record — 73 percent. … Reflecting these economic worries, just 44 percent of Americans are confident they’ll have enough money to carry them through retirement.

In August, a USA Today/Gallup poll found that 80 percent of the electorate said the country is headed in the wrong direction.

I like how the Bush voters thought the country was on the wrong track by 74% back in 2000. Good work guys, we agree with you now.
