Majority of Americans Say US Is on the Wrong Track Under Obama

For the first time this year a majority of Americans now believe that the US is on the wrong track.
52% of Americans say the country is on the wrong track. Only 36% believe it is on the right track.
Politics Daily reported, via Free Republic:

While the stock market has picked up and the country appears to be pulling out of the recession, a majority of Americans – for the first time in the Obama presidency – says the U.S. is headed down the wrong track, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll conducted Oct. 22-25.

52 percent say the country is on the wrong track compared to 36 percent who say it is headed in the right direction with 9 percent saying conditions are mixed and 3 percent undecided. While there have been pluralities saying the U.S. is on the wrong track in four of the previous five WSJ/NBC polls during Obama’s presidency, this is the first time the number broke 50 percent. The one month where that was not true was April when 43 percent said things were on the right track and an equal number said they were going in the opposite direction.

52% racists and nazis, I guess. Same as in Europe. Everyone who is against the new “great leap forward” is a racist and a nazi.

But if this makes me a racist and a nazi, so be it.

Yes We Did #2…oh no you didn’t!

You don’t single out a race and gender you bigotted, racist, sloppy goober. Take your racist a$$ somewhere else.

No one, and I mean no one, likes a racist crybaby shyster. Your breed is dying out, thank God.

What an irrelevant racist pig….geez.

Sorry guys….I hate bigotted, racist a$$holes just looking for a handout. The scourge of the earth.

When it comes to the Obama Administration’s policy concerning Afghanistan one has to wonder if we are on any track at all!!

I told a libtard the other day that if you take out the factor that Obama is [half] black, and looked solely upon his beliefs and his [lack of] accomplishments before and after being elected king, you’d find a scary individual.

The guy stood there for a moment, mouth agape, and then walked away.

Just because Obama is a protected class it doesn’t give him a hall pass to destroy liberty and freedom for all.

People are starting to realize this.

How thrilling it must be for Obama to have all these ignorant, patronizing white folks believing everything he says because he’s a black boy done good (to paraphrase Jimmy Carter no less).

Take race out of the issue and look at the facts.

Dude’s an American-hating commie. Period.

Wall street is really not rising. The index continues to creep up, but the value is stagnant or lowering. The fed just keeps on a printing, and the dollar is dropping like a rock.

Wait’ll they realize that we only ‘appear’ to be coming out of a recession…It’s going to be a sad, ugly awakening.

Listen here Yes We Did…..if you and your ilk don’t like this country then just leave simple as that. Obamao’s brand of peace and justice has been tried countless times resulting in the same thing; tyranny and poverty. That’s what you want and that’s what he wants. There’s a ~~shithole~~ of an island 90 miles south of Florida so I suggest you run, not walk as fast as you can to hop on the next boat to Havana.

Oh yeah, that’s right. No sane person in America wants to move to Cube since it’s a run down communist infested ~~shithole~~. It’s those poor Cubans who want out and want to move here.

We were on the wrong track for all of this year, heading for destruction. But with The President and Congress stalled on nearly all fronts, we are adrift. We have no leadership capable of taking us anywhere. We are simply drifting toward greater chaos. The elections next week may help some get their bearings, but most politicans will simply get more frantic, increasing the chaos. No real hope for getting back on a course, any course, until after the elections next year.

How can 36% of this nation still be so stupid? I guess mass brainwashing by the boob tube really does have credence.

Right track or not? It’s easy to determine:
If you despise conservatives and would love to see this country abolish the Constitution and establish socialism or even communism…he’s on the right track!
If you believe in the Constitution and a free market….ooops, he is not really on track, is he?
A lot of people wonder why libs can’t “see through” Obama. Keep in mind that a lot of them know exactly where he’s going, and they are on board.

So 36% of the people think unemployment of nearly 10% (don’t sweat it – we’ll get there), multi-trillion dollar deficits, an effort to nationalize as many industries as possible all while eventually clobbering the middle class with tax hikes is the right direction? Sheesh. They should move to France.

Given what a large number of Americans did last November, I don’t put much into what they think now about what kind of track we are on.

I’ll bet that a lot of these we’re-on-the-wrong-track people helped put Obie into office, so they should just shut the hell up, sit back and enjoy the ride.

what percentage of those who feel the country is heading in the right direction are non-contributing members. the same ones who think
that obama will bring social justice and that they’ll be on the receiving end.
