With just over a week until election day, the mood of the country portends doom for the party in power–the Democrats. A new CBS News Battleground Tracker/YouGov poll shows 79 percent of Americans believe the country is “out of control” with only 21 percent saying things are “under control.” The poll also shows a sharp break by independents to Republicans took place over the past two weeks.

69 percent say the economy is “bad” (40 percent very bad) while 27 percent say the economy is “good” (7 percent say very good.)

Only 11 percent credit Biden and the Democrats for the price of gas while 52 percent blame them (similar numbers for the economy).
Obama said he took a shellacking in 2010. Bush said he took a thumping in 2006. What will Biden call next week’s election?
