President Joe Biden faces tough numbers, as nearly 85% of U.S. adults feel the country is headed in the wrong direction, according to a new poll.

In a survey conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs, 92% of Republicans feel the nation is heading in the wrong direction, and 78% of Democrats feel the same way.

These numbers are significantly up from what the poll found last year, when only 37% of Democrats and 68% of Republicans felt negative about the economy.

In the new survey, 60% overall said they disapprove of Biden's job as president, and 39% said they approve. Among independents, 73% said they disapprove of Biden's performance.

"The nationwide poll was conducted June 23-27, 2022 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 1,053 adults," according to a post from AP-NORC. "The margin of sampling error is +/- 4.0 percentage points."
