Who thinks the US is most likely headed in the right direction?: Democrats are the party of the rich and people with a graduate education

Who thinks the US is most likely headed in the right direction? A new Rasmussen Reports Survey of Likely Voters finds it is high-income liberal Democrats who went to graduate school. Are they the most isolated from everyday realities such as crime and inflation? These are the same people who most approve of Biden’s job performance.

Are high income people and those with graduate educations just more optimistic about the future? Or are high income people and those with graduate educations simply like the world better when Democrats are in charge?

So we looked at the same survey by Rasmussen three years ago when Trump was president. Under Trump, those with graduate educations were the least happy about the direction of the country and the highest income people were tied with the very lowest as being the least optimistic about the future.
