According to the famous “Gallup” polling conducting organization 54 percent of some 1,200 people randomly interviewed from July 5-12 said that they believe Armenia is going in the wrong direction. Lingering socioeconomic problems appear to be the key factor behind the gloomy mood, with only 23 percent of respondents saying that they and their families are better off than they were early this year. And only about third of them saw an improvement in the country’s overall economic situation over the past three months, despite continuing economic growth. Fifty percent said it has not changed.
