75% Americans hold negative view of state of nation
An exit poll by CNN said roughly three-quarters of the electorate holds a negative view of the way things are going in the US today.
Only about one-quarter call themselves enthusiastic or satisfied with the state of the nation, with more than four in 10 dissatisfied and roughly three in 10 saying they are angry, according to the poll.
Voters remain generally optimistic, with more than 6 in 10 saying that America’s best days are in the future, and only about one-third said that they’re already in the past, the CNN poll found.
It said President Joe Biden’s approval rating is sliding nationally with about 4 in 10 voters saying they approve of his job performance and a majority disapproving.
