July 14, 2020: Forty-nine percent (49%) of voters nationwide rate their own personal finances as good or excellent. A Scott Rasmussen survey conducted July 9-11, 2020, found that 32% rate their finances as “fair” while 17% say poor.[1]
Twenty-three percent (23%) say their finances are getting better while 26% say worse. Forty-nine percent (49%) say their finances are staying about the same at this time.[1]
Republicans, by a 35% to 17% margin, believe their finances are getting better. Democrats, by a similar margin, say they are getting worse.[1]
Views of the overall economy are more pessimistic. Just 25% believe things are getting better while 50% say worse.[1] Still, that’s a slight improvement compared to a month ago when 55% believed the economy was getting worse. The current numbers are similar to optimism measured in late May.
