New Poll: Majority of Americans Think We Are on the Wrong Track

According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released yesterday, 64 percent of those surveyed feel that the United States is on the wrong track. The poll also indicated that, with regard to government spending that 59 percent of Americans prefer to cut existing programs and 30 percent would rather raise taxes than reduce deficit spending.

These results are particularly interesting because these poll results are coupled with economic indicators which demonstrate that the economy is improving. I guess most people see that even a slight improvement in our economy does not do much to combat out $1.5 trillion budget deficit and $14 trillion national debt. Most Americans know that major structural changes are needed to turn this country around.
