OCTOBER 15, 2020: A Political IQ national poll found that 29% of voters nationwide believe the economy is getting better while 45% say it is getting worse. The poll, conducted by Scott Rasmussen, found that 22% believe it is staying about the same and 4% are not sure.[1] ([link removed])

That’s a slight improvement since June when a Ballotpedia survey found that 22% believed the economy was getting better and 50% say worse.[2] ([link removed])

Perceptions about the overall economy are typically a lagging indicator of economic performance. It is not unusual for many voters to believe the country remains in a recession for years after the recession officially ended.

However, perceptions of personal finances are often more responsive to changing dynamics. The latest poll shows that 27% of voters believe their own personal finances are getting better while 25% take the opposite view.[1] ([link removed])

Upper-income Americans are more positive than lower-income Americans about the economic trends.[1] ([link removed])
