- Democrats' views are even more pessimistic: just 15% say the economy is Good or Excellent, while 56% say it is Poor.
Only 26% of voters say the economy is getting better, and 54% say it is getting worse.
- Forty-six percent (46%) of Republicans say it is getting better (down 6 points from 2 weeks ago), and 26% say it is getting worse.
