Perceptions of the economy remain pessimistic, with little changed over the past two weeks. Twenty-five percent (25%) say their personal finances are getting better, while 36% say worse. This is nearly identical to two weeks ago (26% better, 36% worse).

Interestingly, however, the number saying we're in a recession is back to 34%, down from a recent peak of 41% earlier this month. Last October, just before the election, 43% thought the economy was in a recession.

The most recent data cited is from a Napolitan News Service survey of 1,000 Registered Voters conducted online by Scott Rasmussen April 28-29, 2025. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. and has a margin of error of +/- 3.1.
