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.
