A quarter of respondents said the country is headed in the right direction – another slight increase from May. Just over 70% said the nation is moving the wrong way – and while that’s high, it’s down from nearly 80% in the previous poll.
Just over half said Virginia is trending in the right direction, with 45% disagreeing. That's relatively unchanged from the May survey.
