Worried, stressed, angry aren't alternatives to proud.
Ashamed, embarrassed or the like.
Then 32% confident.
Where was the choice for pessimistic? Yeah they asked about how it's going and some said badly. But going badly is not the opposite of "confident".
I just found the framing of the whole poll odd.
