Those opinion differences are clear in the traditional "right
track-wrong track" question, a key indicator of the public's mood.
Thirty-four percent of whites say the country is headed in the right
direction, while 56 percent believe it is "seriously off track." For black
Americans, 70 percent say the country is headed in the right direction, with
just 23 percent saying it is off track. (According to the U.S. Census,
blacks make up about 13 percent of the population, while whites make up
about 80 percent. The Times poll divided respondents into black and white,
with no other groups reported.)
