My god! Perspectives are SUCH interesting things!
I can't FATHOM how you could find the GOP message positive and optimistic. It sounds cynical and paranoid to me. And I can't imagine how you can hear "hope" as doom and gloom. The cognitive dissonance for me in reading this paragraph is nothing short of stunning.
I'll also note that, in the question of "is the country on the right track?" you're in a marked minority. You're entitled to that opinion, of course. But you're nuts.

Here are the most recent numbers (from a GfK Roper poll Sept. 5-10):
