A new poll out Wednesday shows the bleak outlook Americans have on the economy.
With less than a week to go until the 2014 midterm elections, only 38 percent of Americans believe the economy is doing well while 62 percent of Americans say the economy is either doing “somewhat poor” or “very poor.”
The CNN/ORC International poll shows the percentage of Americans who think the economy is in good shape is down four points from 42 percent in September.
One positive takeaway from the poll is that 52 percent of Americans believe the economy will be in good shape a year from now, which is a slight edge over the 46 percent who say it’ll be in poor shape.
