Harris Co-Chair: People Think Personal Economy Is Improving, Think Country’s on Wrong Track Largely Due to Division

On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Harris-Walz Campaign Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) reacted to polls showing Americans see the country as on the wrong track by stating that the internals show more people “think that their own economic situation and [that] of their community is getting better” and the pessimistic view of the nation’s direction is “in large part, because of the division and the nastiness they’re seeing on their televisions, in TV ads, and in discussions they’re having with family and friends about this election.”

Co-host John Berman asked, “So, The Wall Street Journal has a new poll out overnight, and some of the underlying numbers show what other polls have shown also, that, on the question of, in which direction is the country headed…only 26% say the country’s headed in the right direction, 64% say the wrong track. And that number’s getting worse from August, Senator. How challenging is it for an incumbent party to run into those headwinds?”
