The survey showed that seven in 10 Americans expect a recession to begin sometime in the next year. This marks a decline in positive views of the economy from earlier measurements. The findings come as inflation and employment data continue to shape public sentiment toward current economic policies. Officials have not issued an immediate response to the poll results.
The poll measured both current approval levels and forward-looking expectations about economic performance. Respondents cited concerns over job security, prices for goods and services, and overall growth prospects. Results indicated that negative expectations have grown in recent months. The survey did not provide a specific approval percentage in the reported figures.
Economic indicators released in recent weeks have shown mixed signals, with some sectors reporting steady hiring while others note slowing consumer spending. The poll adds to ongoing discussions about the direction of the national economy. Further surveys and official economic data releases are expected in the coming weeks.
Public expectations often influence spending and investment decisions across households and businesses.
