A majority of adult Americans believe that the United States is “currently in an economic recession,” according to an Economist/YouGov poll.

Of the 1500 U.S. adult citizens surveyed, 57 percent stated “yes” when asked if they “believe the United States is currently in an economic recession,” while just 19 percent said they do not think there is a recession. Another 24 percent were unsure. Most of the respondents who reported being Republicans and independents said they believe America is dealing with a recession, at 75 percent and 57 percent, respectively. Conversely, 43 percent of Democrats said a recession is currently happening.

Just over half of Americans (51 percent) said that the “prices of goods and services [they] buy” is the “best indicator” of a recession. “The unemployment rate and job reports” was the second most popular answer, garnering 21 percent of the response. Eleven percent believe the “stock market index” is the best sign of a recession, while five percent said their “personal finances.”

Just 16 percent of Americans view the economy’s condition as either “excellent” (three percent) or “good” (13 percent), while a majority of 51 percent categorized it as “poor.” Another 29 percent viewed it as “fair.” (Read more from “Poll: 57 Percent Believe U.S. Is in an ‘Economic Recession’” HERE)
