WASHINGTON (AFP) – Sixty percent of all Americans strongly want the country to change direction after nearly seven years of President George W. Bush’s rule, according to a new opinion poll released late Sunday.
The survey by The Washington Post and ABC News indicated that only 24 percent of those surveyed think the nation is on the right track, and three-quarters said they want the next president to chart a different political course.
A new direction is wanted not only by Democrats, but also by three-quarters of Independents and even half of Republicans, according to the poll.
