I wonder why the American media is not telling us about this poll ad nauseum like they would if an R were president.
Rhetorical!

whats wrong with the other 36% ?
Since the "right track" is arbitrary based on who is asked, such an assertion is completely meaningless.

blame bush!!
true but I put it at 1861
Only 64%?
Unemployment is acknowledged to be around 9%, and is actually much higher.
The wars in Iraq and Afganistan keep dragging on to no conclusion.
The deficit is nearly as much as the entire federal budget was a decade ago.
Real wages are down, the middle class is disappearing, prices are up, and gas is more expensive despite an increase in supply.
The costs of medical care are eating us alive.
Virtually everything we buy is imported from somewhere else.
And 36% have been fooled into thinking that the US is on the right track? How is that?

I agree with much of that, but I must take exception to your point on health care.
What is eating us alive is entitlement spending, which I suppose includes healthcare costs in Medicare and Medicaid.
Everyone knows controlling entitlement spending is the answer to the budget problem, but the Ds and their media have no intention of controlling spending of any kind. Once the Rs come up with a plan to limit this spending, they will be demonized by the Ds and the media and many will believe them.

I think that the left would probably control spending when it has reached the maximum amount that can be extorted from taxpayers. If 90% of money in the country could be extracted from the citizens then spending would equal that 90% and usually not more.
At that point the left would stop caring if the spending were on military or given to corporations as long as they were the party in control.
The Pubs are both worse and better at the same time. They would claim to want to cut spending but then go ahead and spend it anyway. They might cap spending at 60% of all money in the economy and would spend it on a lot of the same projects. The slide into tyranny would be less pronounced but just as precariously balanced on the edge of a cliff.
Once gov grows large enough it makes no difference who is in control and how much money they collect and spend because we would be only one misfortunate election away from a tyranny.
We must reduce the scope and size of government now before it is too late.

Short of civil war or total financial collapse, I don't see that happening.

No, it's not too likely. The government has been growing steadily for several decades now.
