Democrats are increasingly optimistic about America’s economy despite signs that growth is slowing and inflation has accelerated.
A month ago, thirty-two percent of Democrats said they thought the economy was getting better, according to a survey by the Economist and YouGov. Thirty-five percent said the economy was staying about the same and 28 percent said it was getting worse.
The most recent polls show a big partisan shift. The June 2-4 poll found that 40 percent of Democrats say the economy is getting better, 36 percent say it is staying the same, and 19 percent say it is getting worse.
The shift in economic perceptions run contrary to economic data, which has generally shown economic growth is slowing and fewer workers are being added to payrolls.
