Politico/GWU Battleground poll: Nearly 3 in 4 say country headed in wrong direction.
Conducted Aug. 28-Sept. 1 , error margin 3.1 points.
It is really hard to see this number turning around in any significant way before November, 2012, particularly since public opinion tends to lag behind any actual recovery. The Romney campaign's greatest achievement so far is to stoke the wrong track meme in almost every public utterance from the candidate and his team.
