Americans feel worse about the economy than during the pandemic
New polling covered by The Washington Post finds that Americans rate the economy more negatively now than they did during the Covid-19 pandemic, despite unemployment and growth figures suggesting a healthier economy. The gap between hard data and public sentiment is drawing attention, with inflation, housing costs and political polarization cited as likely drivers of the gloom.
Why now: The finding contradicts relatively strong economic indicators, prompting debate about why consumer sentiment is so low.
