Most folks in Idaho are waiting for the change in the U.S. federal administration – for they certainly don’t like the way things are going now, a new Idaho Politics Weekly poll shows. It’s no secret most Idahoans don’t think much of President Barack Obama, of which he is aware – he didn’t visit Idaho during his eight years in office until this summer. Pollster Dan Jones & Associates finds that 71 percent of Idahoans believe the country is going in the wrong direction. Only 21 percent say the U.S. is headed in the right direction, and 8 percent didn’t know. On the state front, 47 percent say Idaho is going in the right direction, 40 percent say the wrong direction, and 13 percent don’t know/Idaho Politics Weekly. More here.
