The mood is apparently worsening around America's kitchen tables when it comes to budgets and the national economy.
A new Harris poll finds that seven in 10 Americans (71%) rate the economic policies of the national government as bad while 13 percent rate them as good. Almost half of U.S. adults polled (48%) say their household’s financial condition has worsened since last year at this time, while three in 10 (31%) say it has improved and just over one in five (22%) say it has remained the same. This is slightly worse than last month when one-third (34%) said their household’s financial condition had improved compared to a year ago while just under half (47%) said it had worsened.
The online survey was conducted between July 3-11.
