WASHINGTON – Most Americans view the nation’s economic situation as bleak, but a rising percentage also see signs of stability six weeks before Election Day — if not reasons for optimism.According to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 60% of Americans describe the national economy as poor and 40% deem it good.
That's a rebound in confidence from low points in April and May, when just 29% called the economy good as the coronavirus pandemic took hold of the country.About 4 in 10 Americans — 43% — say they expect the economy to improve in the next year, about the same as in July.
