American People: Current Decade Rates as Worst in 50 Years
Current Decade Rates as Worst in 50 Years

As the current decade draws to a close, relatively few Americans have positive things to say about it. By roughly two-to-one, more say they have a generally negative (50%) rather than a generally positive (27%) impression of the past 10 years. This stands in stark contrast to the public’s recollection of other decades in the past half-century. When asked to look back on the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, positive feelings outweigh negative in all cases.

3. It all seemed to start with the Bush v. Gore decision on 12/12/2000.
I seem to remember this decade as being fairly positive up until then. After that, everything went downhill.
