Americans agree: The country is going to hell in a handbasket

[Geee]

Washington Times:

The number of American voters who think the country is headed in the right direction fell by 11 percentage points over the past week, placing it at its lowest level in two years, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey.

 

Just 17 percent of likely voters said they think the United States is on the right track, a sign that the ongoing government shutdown and fight over the debt limit is taking its toll on public confidence.

 

“It just tells you that this brinksmanship isn’t working,” Rep. Kevin Brady, Texas Republican, told Fox News on Thursday.
