Voters See a Really Bad Economy

A new New York Times/Siena poll finds just 10% of registered voters say the U.S. economy is “good”or “excellent,” a remarkable degree of pessimism at a time when wages are rising and the unemployment rate is near a 50-year low.

Bad news for Democrats: “78% of voters say inflation will be ‘extremely important’ when they head to the polls.”

But a head-scratcher: “43% of voters said their personal financial situation was good or excellent.”
