41% Say U.S. Heading in Right Direction

(Before It's News)

Forty-one percent (41%) of Likely U.S. Voters now say the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken the week ending Sunday, November 18.

That’s down a point from the previous week 
and down two from the week before, which marked the highest level of optimism during the Obama presidency. Still, the latest finding is up 17 points from the beginning of the year and up 24 points from a year ago.
