PRINCETON, NJ -- Satisfaction with the way things are going in the nation continues to decline, as now fewer than 4 in 10 Americans are satisfied. The current figures are the lowest since last March and rank among the lowest of the Bush presidency. They also reflect a considerable partisan divide. Americans most often mention economic concerns as the most important problem facing the country. National security issues such as Iraq and terrorism also figure prominently in Americans' minds.

The latest Gallup Poll shows 39% of Americans satisfied, and 60% dissatisfied with the way things are going in the United States at this time. That's the lowest satisfaction level since March 2003 (36%) and among the lowest of the Bush presidency.

Is that these are the kind of numbers that helped sink Carter and Bush I.
