Most say country worse off than a year ago, new poll shows

Season 2026 Episode 42 | 7m 32s

As President Trump prepares to deliver the first State of the Union address of his second term, six in ten Americans say the country is in a worse place than a year ago. That’s according to a new PBS News/NPR/Marist poll. Ahead of that speech, White House correspondent Liz Landers checks in with voters about how they see the direction of the country.
