Almost no Americans satisfied with the direction of the country.....

from ThinkProgress:

Americans� satisfaction drops to all-time low of 9 percent.�

A new Gallup poll finds that just nine percent of the American public are �satisfied with the way things are going in the United States � the lowest such reading in Gallup Poll history. � The previous low point for Gallup�s measure of satisfaction had been 12%, recorded back in 1979, in the midst of rising prices and gas shortages when Jimmy Carter was president.�

Chart: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/07/satisfaction-9/

Sixty-nine percent of Americans named the economy as the top issue affecting their outlook, far ahead of the second most important issue � the war in Iraq (11 percent).

1. That is not something that can be repaired in one month.

People who think the country is headed in the wrong direction will vote out the incumbent party.

And, the polls are showing that.

3. I bet there will be only 1 or 2 questions allowed about

the economy during tonight's debate. That way, McSame won't have to "talk" about it.
