Political Wire got an advance look at a new Harris Poll that shows the vast majority of Americans feel the "state of the union" is not good.

Key findings:

81% think that the current state of the country is fair or poor while just 19% think it is excellent or good.
81% say that plans to strengthen the economy are going poorly while just 16% say it is going well.
61% think the war on terrorism is going poorly with just 35% saying it is going well. The war in Iraq fares even worse, as 66% say that is going poorly.
President Bush will give his own State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress on Monday.
