In a surprising turn of events for NBC’s Meet the Press, they had to acknowledge a significant uptick in national optimism. During this morning’s broadcast, NBC analyst Steve Komacki delivered unexpected news to the network’s predominantly liberal audience.

The data revealed an extraordinary surge in public sentiment, with the country’s “right track” polling figures reaching their highest point in over a decade. Even more remarkably, these numbers showed a dramatic 17-point increase within just four months.

This development appears to challenge critics of the current administration and those opposing domestic policies. The statistical evidence suggests a marked shift in public perception about the nation’s direction.

Komacki reported: “44% of Americans say the country is headed in the right direction under President Trump, up from just 27% in November.”

He further emphasized the historical significance of these figures, noting, “If that doesn’t seem like a lot, the last time it cracked 40%, you gotta go back to 2012. The last time it actually hit 44% or higher — January 2004.”

NBC reiterated these findings: “44% of Americans say the country is headed in the right direction under President Trump, up from just 27% in November.”

The network repeated Komacki’s historical context: “If that doesn’t seem like a lot, the last time it cracked 40%, you gotta go back to 2012. The last time it actually hit 44% or higher — January 2004.”
