Poll Reveals Disconnect Between Americans' Economic Perception and Reality A recent Harris poll for The Guardian reveals that a majority of Americans believe the economy is in a recession, although it is not. The poll also shows misconceptions, with nearly half thinking the S&P 500 is down this year and unemployment is at a 50-year high. In reality, the economy is growing, the S&P 500 is up by about 11% in 2024, and unemployment is near historic lows, highlighting a significant disconnect between perception and reality. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts U.S. Economic Growth Hits 3.2% in Q4, Marking Six Quarters of Sustained Expansion READ MORE U.S. Jobless Claims Hit 11-Month High Amid Labor Market Volatility READ MORE Nasdaq Breaks 17,000 Mark, S&P 500 Slightly Up, Dow Drops Amid Rising Yields READ MORE Treasury Traders Bet on 2024 Fed Rate Cuts READ MORE Record Inflows Catapult Bitcoin Near All-Time Highs READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
