What is a Right Track / Wrong Track poll?

A "right track, wrong track" poll is a survey question that asks respondents whether they believe the country, state, or a specific area is generally heading in the right direction or is on the wrong track. This type of poll is used to gauge public sentiment about the overall state of affairs, capturing the general mood and satisfaction or dissatisfaction with current leadership, policies, and the socio-economic environment. The results of these polls can indicate the level of public approval or discontent, which can be influential in shaping political strategies and forecasting electoral outcomes.
