A recent sociological barometer reveals that most Romanians feel the country is heading in the wrong direction, with only 19.1% expressing optimism. This reflects a significant decline in positive sentiment compared to previous months. The survey, conducted by INSCOP Research, indicates that 72.4% of respondents believe Romania is on the wrong track, a slight decrease from earlier figures. Optimism is notably higher among PSD, PNL, and USR voters, as well as younger individuals and those with higher education. The data was collected from a representative sample of 1,197 people between October 26 and November 2, 2026, with a margin of error of ± 2.8%.
