The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
March 11, 2019: Thirty-two percent (32%) of American adults believe the U.S. economy is getting better while 26% say it is getting worse. The rest aren’t seeing much change in either direction.
The latest Job Creators Network/ScottRasmussen.com Weekly Pulse survey also shows that partisan politics plays a huge role in perceptions of the economy. Republicans, by a 63% to 9% margin, tend to believe the economy is getting better. Democrats, by a 38% to 12% margin, think it is getting worse. Independent voters are more evenly divided—30% say better and 26% worse.
On a personal level, 51% of Americans rate their own finances as good or excellent. And by a 32% to 18% margin, they tend to believe their own finances are getting better rather than worse. When you ask about their personal finances, Republicans, Democrats, and independent voters are all more likely to say things are getting better rather than worse.
