more polls show that less Americans are ignoring reality

26 percent:

Number of Americans who believe the country is “on the right track.” The new Reuters poll also finds that 66 percent of those surveyed “said the direction of economic policy was fair or poor, and 76 percent said U.S. foreign policy was headed in a fair or poor direction.” Bush’s approval rating is at just 34 percent.

UPDATE: A new Gallup Poll shows that the 26th quarter of Bush’s presidency, ending tomorrow, is “the worst he has had,” with string of sub-40 percent quarterly averages now exceeding the run that former President Nixon had leading up to to his resignation.
