[Maddox]

• U.S. satisfaction with the direction of the country tumbles 12 points

Satisfaction With the Direction of the U.S. Drops Precipitously
Thirty percent of Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S., marking a 12-point drop since the prior reading in early March.

A monthly drop this large has only been recorded twice in the past two decades:

• in October 2008, days after the U.S. stock market crashed and the House rejected the Bush administration's initial attempt at financial rescue legislation
• in July 2016, after a string of mass shootings -- including one at an Orlando nightclub in June, which was, at the time, the deadliest in U.S. history -- and multiple shootings of black men by white police officers, followed by retaliatory mass shootings of Dallas police officers in early July
