A survey released this week shows Americans rating current economic conditions lower than at any point during the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2008 financial crisis, or the period following the September 11 attacks.
Respondents were asked to assess the overall state of the economy without reference to specific policy measures or political figures. The same questions were fielded during the prior crises, allowing direct numerical comparison of the results. No margin of error or sample size was provided in the initial release.
The findings were distributed through financial media channels on the same day the survey summary appeared. Further breakdowns by demographic group or region were not included in the published figures.
