CNN Poll: View of Nation’s Economy Is the Worst It’s Been Since 2011

The hits just keep coming for the Biden administration. The economy and inflation have been burying Democrats in their fight to somehow hold power in the midterms, then the leaked Supreme Court abortion draft consumed headlines and provided hope that maybe a GOP wave wasn’t a total lock for November.

However, given the total collapse of confidence in Biden’s leadership and the continued bad economic situation facing the country, not even the threat of overturning Roe v. Wade looks like it will overcome a general feeling of malaise among voters on all sides:

The US public’s view of the nation’s economy is the worst it’s been in a decade, a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS finds, with many Americans also saying they feel financial strain in their own lives.

That pessimism also reflects on President Joe Biden, whose ratings for handling the economy remain sharply negative. A majority of US adults say his policies have hurt the economy, and 8 in 10 say the government isn’t doing enough to combat inflation.
