And 20.9% of those people work for the federal government or are union members.
(TheDC) — Seven out of ten registered voters say the country is on the wrong track and a majority says that President Obama doesn’t deserve to be re-elected, according to a poll set to be released Tuesday that has been obtained in full exclusively by The Daily Caller.
Resurgent Republic’s survey, which it finished conducting exactly one year out from the 2012 election, shows that even a plurality of Democrats views the country as heading in the wrong direction, with 45 percent lamenting the direction the country and only 41 percent saying the country is on the right track. The overall wrong track number is the highest Resurgent Republic has recorded since it began polling registered voters in April 2009.
A majority of survey respondents indicated that America’s economy, the federal government’s financial situation and the government’s ability to solve problems have all gotten worse since President Obama was inaugurated in January 2009. Fifty percent of respondents indicated that America’s standing in the world has declined since Obama’s inauguration, rather than gotten better or stayed about the same.
Asked about their own financial situation, a plurality of respondents — 45 percent — indicated it had remained about the same since Obama’s inauguration, while 34 percent said it had gotten worse and just 21 percent said it had gotten better.
