Unhappy voters could deliver political shocks beyond Trump

Americans are dissatisfied with the direction of the nation by a huge margin.

Their unhappiness is a bad sign for President Trump as he seeks reelection four months from now - but the discontent could also reshape the political landscape in a broader sense.

Pollsters have for decades tracked public satisfaction via the question of whether the nation is on the right or wrong track.

The "right track" numbers have plunged in recent months as the coronavirus crisis has ravaged the nation, leading to economic disruption, and as street protests have erupted over racial injustice.

In the RealClearPolitics polling average, fewer than one-quarter of Americans think the nation is on the right track. On Thursday evening, those holding that view stood at just 23.8 percent, while 68.1 percent believed the country was headed in the wrong direction.
