Three-fourths of Americans say the country is on the wrong track, according to a new poll.

The NBC News poll of 1,000 U.S. adults, conducted between May 5-7, found that 75% of Americans said the country was “off on the wrong track,” while just 16% said the United States was “headed in the right direction.”

NBC noted that the poll is the fourth consecutive survey where the “wrong track” figure was above 70 percent and only the fifth time in 34 years that the “wrong track” number reached 75%. The last time it was that high was during the Great Recession in 2008, followed by the 2013 government shutdown.

NBC NEWS POLL: Just 16% say the country is headed in the right direction, while 75% say we’re on the wrong track.

It’s a truism that voters’ views about the economy begin to harden in May.

“It is a flashing red light when you see a number like this,” Republican pollster Bill McInturff told NBC News.

McInturff’s firm, Public Opinion Strategies, conducted the poll for NBC News in conjunction with Democratic polling firm Hart Research Associates.

“Americans are telling us this is as bad as 2008,” McInturff added.

President Joe Biden’s job approval rating also hit his lowest-ever mark in NBC News’s polling, falling to just 39%, with 56% disapproval.
