NBC News poll: Pessimism defines the state of the union

As President Barack Obama enters his sixth year in the White House, 68 percent of Americans say the country is either stagnant or worse off since he took office, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Just 31 percent say the country is better off, and a deep pessimism continues to fuel the public's mood. Most respondents used words like “divided,” “troubled,” and “deteriorating” to describe the current state of the nation.

On the eve of Tuesday’s State of the Union address, more than six-in-10 Americans believe that the nation is headed in the wrong direction and 70 percent are dissatisfied with the economy.

Well, I'm pretty sure if they did the poll again today after the mistake of the union spewing last night the number would surely be 180 degrees from these poll numbers. Let me be clear. At the end of the day, you can keep your poll numbers if you like your poll numbers. Period. The nsa has no idea how you responded to the polling questions. They don't know where you live or where you kids go to school either.

Did 0bozo say anything positive or uplifting last night?
Anything that would unite Americans in a common cause?

And I sure didn’t hear anything to change my mind.

That 32% who still support The Worst President Ever must be the Leftist university slugs who are living off someone else’s dime and the baby mamas who love their food stamps, free rent, free medical and their ObamaPhones.

[rktman]

LOL! Common cause is to get him out of office. But that ain’t happenin’.

As long as the people hate the GOP more than the Kenyan, then I guess it is still all good in the minds of the RAT party.

Reading about a NBC News poll is looking into a rear view mirror!

IIRC it was the Luntz group last even that had a similar percentage who just do not trust Obama any more -- because of the big lies.
