A new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. Poll shows that 24 percent have a positive outlook for the country, while 76 percent say things are on the wrong track.
It is the lowest number on record since 1980 and the third time in four decades that the number has dropped so low.
Recent CNN/Opinion Research Corp. polling has shown a steady drop in the country's mood. In April 2007, 51 percent said things in the country were going badly. A year later, 70 percent reiterated that position.
"Only three events -- Watergate, the Iran hostage crisis, and the economic downturn of 1992 -- have driven below 30 percent the number who think things are going well," CNN's polling director Keating Holland said. The mood of the country has been assessed since 1974.
If you'll remember, in each of those years the opposing party won the White House . . .
