Yesterday’s Democratic primaries in
Another predictable result of the primaries: Democratic voters were casting their votes for change.
The exit polls showed that, the voters of Kentucky, a state that is overall less educated, less economically prosperous and more socially conservative than Oregon, were voting for the economic change; and Oregonians in their majority were voting for the change in the U.S. involvement in Iraq, with less than half of the Democrats in that state citing economy as their primary concern.
However, a nation-wide Reuters/Zogby index that “measures the mood of the country” released today indicates that there is a deep and growing anxiety about economy among the majority of the Americans. The current leadership, President Bush and the Congress, have the lowest approval ratings in history as the polling indicates, at 23% and 11%, respectively. And only 16% of Americans believe that the country is on the right track the “uncertainty about the economy and rising gas prices” increasing the population’s doubts about the future.
This fall, Americans will certainly be voting for change and most of them will be voting on the pocket book issues.
