Even half (49%) of self-identified Democrats agree that the economy's worse, more than four times the 11% who think it's better.

"Our economy is strong as Hell—the internals of it," Biden said, while eating ice cream and speaking with reporters. "Inflation is worldwide. It's worse off everywhere else than it is in the United States. So the problem is the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries, not so much ours."

However, 89% of voters say the US is either "very likely" (43%) or "somewhat likely" (46%) currently in a recession, according to a new national opinion survey, conducted October 4-11, 2022 for The Federalist by Susquehanna Polling and Research, Inc.

That includes 84% of voters who approve of Biden's job performance, 84% of those who have a favorable opinion of him, and 82% of self-identified Democrats, who all think the US is in a recession.

What's more, voters largely say the US economy has deteriorated over the last half-year.

Fully, 65% of voters say the economy is worse than it was six months earlier—more than seven times the 9% who say it's improved. Another 20% say it's "about the same" and 6% aren't sure. Five times as many self-identified Independent voters say things have gotten worse, not better (60%-12%).

Even half (49%) of self-identified Democrats agree that the economy's worse, more than four times the 11% who think it's better. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
