Does this matter?

Well now, this might mean something. Wright Track/Wrong Track
Wrong track is on top
Wright track is on bottom
In June of '09 the ballots meet at 45.8 believing the Country was on the Wright track, as well as the same percentage thinking the Country was on the Wrong track. Now, 63.5 disagree with the Country's direction while a huge 30.8 disagree. That accounts for a -32.7 spread. It's easy to interpret what this means for the mid-term elections. However, in attempting to interpret the trend, people seem to have been increasingly optimistic after the Presidential Election and throughout the stimulus taking place, until the economy/unemployment rate became stagnant, when the majority became increasing dissatisfied. Very interestingly, from late March to mid May, there was an actual a decrease in dissatisfaction, by three points! This is a time span immediately fallowing the Health-Care Reform Bill being signed into law. I could guess that post-midterm trends would follow this graph until the economic growth pulls out of recession. But, I like this graph.
