Poll: The American public is generally pessimistic about the economy and dissatisfied with the government's neglect of economic issues.

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal on the 19th, a new poll shows that American people are generally pessimistic about the current economic situation, with nearly half of the respondents believing that the economic conditions in the past year have "become worse." The poll results show that there are 15 percentage points more voters who believe the economy is weak compared to those who believe it is strong, continuing the disconnect between positive economic indicators and negative public opinion. The report mentions that the dissatisfaction of the public stems from the current US government's neglect of economic issues. The poll shows that voters generally believe that the United States is focusing on foreign affairs such as Venezuela and Iran, while ignoring issues such as rising prices and overall economic performance. According to the report, the majority of people blame government policies for the economic difficulties. The survey shows that 58% of voters believe that the current US government is most responsible for the current economic situation, far exceeding the 31% who believe that former president Biden should be responsible.
