Poll: State of the Union

President Barack Obama is pledging to create "good, middle-class jobs" without adding to the nation's deficit.

According to his State of the Union address, President Obama calls job creation his "North Star." He's imploring Congress to focus on how to attract more jobs to the U.S., equip Americans to compete for those positions and ensure that hard work leads to a decent living.

The president says none of his new economic proposals would increase the deficit "by a single dime." He says the country needs a smarter government, not a bigger government.

Tonight in the Daily Pulse we're wondering: Based on the President's State of the Union address, do you believe the United States is on the right track? Yes or no? Why or why not?
