WASHINGTON (CNN) – A new national poll indicates that nearly three out of four Americans are scared about the way things are going in the country today.
Nearly eight in 10 say things are going badly in the country,
"There is a tiny sliver of good news - the number of Americans who think things are going very badly has dropped from 40 percent in December to 32 percent now," Holland added. "But since most of those people switched from the very bad category to the pretty bad category, it's wrong to say that the public is more optimistic - call them a little less pessimistic at best."
