CODA: Question Remaining—Reasoned or Violent Reform

No matter which poll you look at, the message is clear, most Americans think the country is moving in the wrong direction. According to the latest RealClear Politics average, almost seven out of ten Americans (66%) say the country is on the wrong track (Direction of Country 2024). Of the ten surveys taken by five separate polling organizations from January to February 2024, an average of 66% of respondents reported the country is moving in the wrong direction, while less than a quarter (24%) said we are heading in the right direction (See Table 14.1).
