MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota voters are somewhat pessimistic about what lies ahead in the near future for the country, according to a new poll.

The Star Tribune’s Minnesota Poll shows that 65 percent of Minnesotans polled believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction and only 21 percent of them feel the next four years will be better. The negative outlooks are shared by voters across income levels, generations and urban or rural locations.

The poll found that Minnesota’s youngest voters were more upbeat, with 58 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds saying the country is on the wrong track, compared with 70 percent of those over 65.

Voters living in outstate and suburban areas are the most disheartened, with 69 percent believing the nation is on the wrong track. Minnesota residents who earn less than $50,000 annually are the most pessimistic, with 75 percent downcast over the country’s direction.

The poll shows that the state’s voters have significant doubts about the abilities and truthfulness of the presidential front-runners, Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump. Less than half of the voters polled feel confident about Clinton and Trump’s integrity.

More than half of those polled in Minnesota consider jobs, terrorism and national security to be their top concerns heading into the election this fall. Voters in Hennepin and Ramsey counties were more concerned about jobs, while those in outstate Minnesota are most worried about terrorism, government spending and the national debt.

The state’s Democrats were more optimistic than its Republicans, with 35 percent of those identifying as DFL saying they believed the country will improve, and only 13 percent of those identifying as Republicans thinking the same.

The Star Tribune poll of 800 registered voters sampled last week has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
