U.S. Public Becoming More Pessimistic On The Economy

CNBC: Public pessimism on the economy hits a new high, CNBC survey shows 

 * A record 69% of the public holds negative views about the economy both now and in the future, according to the latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey. 

* President Joe Biden’s approval rating fell by 2 percentage points to 39% and his disapproval rating rose by a point to 55% compared with the November survey. 

* Just 24% say now is a good time to invest in stocks, also the lowest reading in the survey’s 17-year history. 

Amid persistent inflation, higher interest rates and recession worries, Americans have never been more negative about the economy, according to the latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey. 

A record 69% of the public holds negative views about the economy both now and in the future, the highest percentage in the survey’s 17-year history. 

The survey of 1,000 people nationwide, with a margin of error of +/-3.1%, found that about two-thirds of Americans say their wages are falling behind inflation, and two-thirds say the nation is headed for recession or already in one. 

The fallout from these negative views is hitting President Joe Biden’s approval rating. 

His overall rating fell by 2 percentage points to 39% and his disapproval rating rose by a point to 55% compared with the November survey.

Fast food apps have resorted to allowing you to finance an $8 burrito over the course of 5 months in order to maintain sales. I keep hearing that some commenters want to see the decay before they'll believe it's happening. Open your eyes and look in any direction.
