Gallup poll shows US economic confidence at lowest level in nearly four years
A new Gallup Economic Confidence Index survey released on Friday shows American confidence in the economy has dropped to -45, the worst reading since 2022. Only 16 percent of Americans view the economy as good or excellent, while 49 percent say conditions are poor. The decline coincides with rising petrol prices and comes ahead of November midterm elections.
