In this paper we study the possibly existing anisotropy in the acceleration expansion by use of the full sample of Union2 data. Using the hemisphere comparison method to search for a preferred direction, we take the deceleration parameter q0 as the diagnostic to quantify the anisotropy level in the wCDM model. We find that the maximum accelerating expansion direction is $(l,b)=(314_{+20^{\circ}}^{\circ-13^{\circ}},28_{+11^{\circ}}^{\circ-33^{\circ}})$,with the maximum anisotropy level of $\delta q_{0,max}/\bar{q}_0=0.79_{+0.27}^{-0.28}$, and that the anisotropy is more prominent when only low redshift data ($z\leq0.2$) are used. We also discuss this issue in the $CPL$ parameterized model, showing a similar result.
