A New York Times/CBS poll out today states that 81% of the US citizens believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction. To put the number in perspective, in 2007 the figure was at 69%. In 2002, it was at 35%.
The record low reflects American discontent with the War in Iraq coupled with the ills brought about by the receding economy. This is why the Democrats should be unbeatable in November. If the Dems cannot successfully capitalize on pegging McCain (who supports Bush's tax cuts, admits the economy is not his cup of tea, and plans on pursuing the exact same Iraq strategy) to a third Bush term, it would be a monumental failure.
However, let us not forget the old adage: "Never underestimate the ability of a Democrat to lose."

McCain plans on focusing on economic messages, above all else, for the next several MONTHS. McCain has plenty of time to communicate that he's not at all aligned with Bush policies. Particularly with an unresolved Democratic contest, there's no focused response to his messaging.
