Poll of citizens

Concerned Citizens

In this article it says that “A new national poll suggests that only a quarter of Americans think things are going well in the country today, while the rest of those questioned are angry, scared and stressed out.” and it also mentioned that "Prior to 2008, we have seen that level of dissatisfaction only three times in the past four decades -- during Watergate, the Iranian hostage crisis and the recession of 1992." I would not doubt these polls, because to me it makes sense that so many American’s are nervous or scared or whatever, they have a reason to be. We are on our way, or some people may say we are already in an economic recession. The survey also suggests that most Americans are not happy with President Bush. Seventy-two percent of those questioned disapprove of the president's handling of his job.”  Americans want a leader to emerge from the next election that will lead us out of this crisis with the least impact on the people, and wether that will take new ideas and major change on capital hill, I am not sure. The economy has become a large issue that people consider when thinking about who to vote for. Different policies could mean getting our economy back on it’s feet again or going into a depression. For these reasons I think this election is very important.
