About 72% said they were dissatisfied or angry with the country’s direction, compared with 26% who said they were enthusiastic or satisfied, according to CNN.

President Joe Biden’s approval rating is just 41%, with 58% disapproval.

That said, a large majority — 61% — said they believe America’s best days are in the future.

As for the most important issues, 35% of respondents said it was democracy, followed by 31% who said it was the economy, 14% who said abortion and 11% immigration.

The figures are early and will be updated during the day.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris made a stop at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, DC to thank staff and volunteers and to make a call to the phone bank. Harris has done a series of radio interviews today and plans to do Zerlina Maxwell’s SiriusXM show tonight.

Donald Trump, meanwhile, is already claiming “massive cheating” in Philadelphia, just as he did in 2020.

Seth Bluestein, a Philadelphia city commissioner, said there was “absolutely no truth to this claim. It’s another example of disinformation. Voting in Philadelphia has been safe and secure.”

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner wrote on X: “There is no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild claim. We have been inviting complaints and allegations of impropriety all day long. If Donald J. Trump has any facts to support his wild claims, we want them now. We’re not holding our breath.”
