Highest percentage of public since 2017 believe US heading in 'right direction': Poll

Citizens have the highest confidence in the direction of the United States since the month after President Trump's inauguration.

A new Rasmussen poll found that 46% of the public believes that the U.S. is headed in the "right direction," jumping 4 points since last week. The survey notes that confidence in the country's direction has nearly doubled since 2016.

"By comparison, this number ran in the mid- to upper 20s for much of 2016," Rasmussen wrote in its report. The last time people felt this degree of confidence was February 2017, when 46% of the public also felt the country was headed in the "right direction," while 48% said America was headed in the "wrong direction."
