Huh?

I don't understand this poll, or at least the story about it. It says 52 percent of the country thinks things are going well, and then two paragraphs later, it says 59 percent are angry about the way things are going. Are people upset that things are going well? Maybe everyone is really as confused about things as I am about the poll, so that's why it shows up this way.

I know some solid pollsters. Whit Ayres and Bill McInturff are two, and I've talked to a few more over my life. Maybe they or MysteryPollster will explain.
