Poll: Americans angry, worried over state of nationStory Highlights
CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll finds widespread dissatisfaction

Poll reports 75 percent say things are going badly in United States

Similar numbers say they are angry and stressed out; two-thirds scared

More than 70 percent dissatisfied with President Bush's performance


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A new national poll suggests that only a quarter of Americans think things are going well in the country today, while the rest of those questioned are angry, scared and stressed out.


Two-thirds of those questioned say they're scared about the way things are going in the U.S.

Seventy-five percent of those surveyed in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Tuesday said things are going badly in the United States.

An equal portion of those polled said they are angry about the way things are going. Two-thirds of those questioned said they're scared about the way things are going and three in four said the current conditions in the country are stressing them out.

"It's scary how many Americans admit they are scared," said Keating Holland, CNN's polling director. "Americans tend to downplay the amount of fear they have when facing tough times. The fact that more than six in 10 say that they are scared shows how bad things are getting."

The 25 percent who said things are going well in the country is another indicator of the negative mood among Americans.

Maybe there's hope.
