According to the polls, 72%⁤ of respondents expressed ⁣unhappiness with the country’s direction, with 43%‍ feeling dissatisfied and 29% angry. Only​ 7% reported being enthusiastic about the state of America. Analyst Chris Wallace noted that such unfavorable sentiments would ⁣pose a considerable challenge for⁤ Harris in ​the upcoming‍ election. He highlighted that history suggests it would be nearly impossible ⁣for any candidate to win under such circumstances,‌ particularly with President Joe Biden’s approval rating ⁤at⁣ 41%. ⁢Wallace speculated that for Harris ‌to succeed, ⁢she would ⁣need to distance herself from the prevailing⁤ negative perceptions about the current administration. ‍Additionally, the exit polls revealed that 80% of voters made their ​decisions well before the election, indicating limited impact from last-minute⁣ campaigning.


CNN’s exit polls found a seething discontent among America’s voters that led analyst Chris Wallace to speculate that it was bad news for Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to a post on social media platform X, CNN’s polling found that overall, 72 percent of those surveyed were unhappy with the direction of the country.

Within that group, 43 percent were dissatisfied, while 29 percent said they were angry about the way things are going in the U.S.

Only 7 percent said they were enthusiastic about the condition of America.

Wallace said CNN’s Dana Bash was “putting the best spin” on the numbers by saying it was uncertain whether dissatisfied voters would blame Trump or Harris.

“Voters are saying that, by a three-to-one margin, they are dissatisfied with the country … or angry. Dissatisfied or angry,” he said.

“I gotta say, I think that that’s with the present conditions in the country, I mean, in conventional terms, it would be a miracle that Kamala Harris could win with that kind of headwind,” Wallace said.

CNN’s exit poll gave President Joe Biden an approval rating of 41 percent.

Wallace said that adds to the burden facing Harris.

“If she is able to overcome those numbers and still win this election, then she has done a remarkable job of somehow separating herself; that she’s part of the solution, and not part of the problem,” Wallace said.

Wallace was not alone in saying the numbers reveal a problem for Harris.

“No incumbent or incumbent party has won with these kinds of numbers — 72 percent of voters say they are dissatisfied or angry about the direction of the country,” David Axelrod wrote on CNN.

“And Joe Biden’s approval number is just 41 percent, while 67 percent call the economy bad or poor,” he wrote.

“Donald Trump’s campaign has tried to hold Vice President Kamala Harris to that record and explains why, despite all the freight he carries, he is in this race,” he wrote.

CNN also reported that its exit polls found that the concept of an October surprise in an election might have vanished.

The polls found about 80 percent of voters decided their votes before September, with about an eighth of those sampled saying they decided in September or October and less than 10 percent saying they made up their minds in the past week.
