US economy going strong under Biden – Americans don’t believe it

Two-thirds of Americans ( 65% ) believe the economy is worse than the media makes it out to be rather than better ( 35% ) In August the unemployment rate was 3.8% , close to a 50-year low, but 51% wrongly believe that unemployment is nearing a 50 year high rather than those who believe it’s actually low ( 49% ).

Just over a third of Democrats ( 35% ) believe it’s having a positive impact ( Republicans : 11% , independents: 16% ) “ Americans either view the economy through their politics or aren’t feeling it in real life,” says Harris Poll CEO John Gerzema .
