Voters across the US are giving a positive outlook on the future of 2023, according to the latest Fox News poll. This is the most optimistic outlook since the turbulent year of 2020. According to the poll, a majority of voters, 58%, are hoping for a better 2023, while only 23% of voters fear it will be worse. The rest are uncertain. The poll also asked how voters felt about the progress made in 2021 so far, and the majority of respondents (51%) felt that the nation is moving in the right direction, while only 41% felt the nation was headed in the wrong direction. This marks a 5-point jump from the previous Fox News poll in May and signals a shift in the national sentiment. This is particularly noteworthy considering the nation has had to battle against a bitterly polarizing political climate as of late, as well as an economic recovery that some are still struggling to keep pace with. The poll also reveals some interesting insights into what voters consider the most important issue ahead for 2023. Unsurprisingly, the economy topped the list with 33% of respondents citing it as the most important, however it was followed by social issues such as racism and police brutality at 25%, and health care reform and gun control at 17%. It is evident that voters are optimistic for the future of 2023, but more needs to be done to ensure that the recovery is even and prosperous for all. This can only be achieved through swift and transformative legislative action, and support from the current administration. The American people are already looking to the future with hope and determination, and it is now up to the government to ensure that their dreams are fulfilled.
