Twenty-eight percent (28%) of U.S. Voters now say the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. This is down three points form a week ago and marks the lowest level of confidence in the nation’s current course since the second week of March.
Just after passage of the national health care bill in late March, confidence jumped nine points to 35%, due primarily to a burst of enthusiasm among Democratic voters. It was the highest level of optimism measured since early September 2009. Since then, the number of voters who feel this way has steadily declined and is beginning to mirror levels found prior to the passage of health care reform.
