Poll: American Satisfaction at New Low

Americans have every reason to be unhappy. We have a madman in the White House as well as a government that doesn't care that the average family has trouble making ends meet. We live in a increasingly violent and chaotic world. Americans see the writing on the wall:

It's gloomy out there. Men and women, whites and minorities — all are feeling a war-weary pessimism about the country seldom shared by so many people.

Only 25 percent of those surveyed say things in the U.S. are going in the right direction, according to an AP-Ipsos poll this month. That is about the lowest level of satisfaction detected since the survey started in December 2003.
