AUGUST 29, 2019: Thirty-one percent (31%) of adults nationwide believe the U.S. economy is getting better. The Job Creators Network/ScottRasmussen.com weekly survey ([link removed]) found that 34% believe it is getting worse while 28% think it is staying about the same.[1] ([link removed])
That marks the second week in a row that the pessimists have outnumbered the optimists. It’s the first time that’s happened since the government shutdown ended in late January. It remains to be seen whether this is a temporary aberration or the start of a lasting decline in economic confidence.
On the bright side, the data also showed that people are feeling better about their personal finances. Thirty-two percent (32%) believe their own finances are getting better. Nineteen percent (19%) say their finances are getting worse.
