A majority of Americans wrongly believe that the country is in a recession, a new survey found.

Fascinating little window

  • 55% believe the economy is shrinking (it is growing)
  • 49% say unemployment is at a 50-year high (it’s close to a 50-year low)
  • 58% said the reason the economy is worsening is due to Biden’s mismanagement
