ABQjournal: Gloomy Outlook In N.M., Poll Says<\/a> By Leslie <\/p>\n

Linthicum, Journal Staff Writer<\/p>\n

Nearly half of New Mexico voters have a gloomy outlook on the future of the nation, according to a <\/p>\n

Journal poll, with 45 percent believing the country is headed down the wrong track. …<\/p>\n

Only 39 percent chose the “right direction,” <\/p>\n

compared to the 45 percent who said the “wrong track.” Sixteen percent were either undecided, had mixed feelings or didn’t want to share <\/p>\n

their answer with a pollster. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus five percentage points.<\/p>\n

Who’s the most glum?<\/p>\n

They are highly educated (53 percent saying things are going sour), Democrats (61 percent), people who live in northern New Mexico (60 <\/p>\n

percent) and those who make between $40,000 and $60,000 (51 percent).<\/p>\n

And the most optimistic about the national direction?<\/p>\n

They are Republicans (72 percent) and people who live on the state’s east side (51 percent).<\/p>\n

Hispanic voters appeared to have <\/p>\n

less faith in the country’s future than Anglos. Twenty-six percent of Hispanics polled said the country was heading in the right <\/p>\n

direction compared to 48 percent of Anglos polled. Fifty-six percent of the Hispanics said we’re on the wrong track, compared to 38 <\/p>\n

percent of the Anglos.<\/p>\n

Women were twice as likely as men to be undecided or not say.<\/p>\n
