A recent Harris poll conducted exclusively for The Guardian reveals that a majority of Americans mistakenly believe the U.S. is in a recession, with many attributing the perceived economic downturn to the Biden administration. The poll indicates that 56% of respondents think the U.S. is currently experiencing a recession, despite seven consecutive quarters of positive GDP growth. Additionally, 55% believe the economy is shrinking, 49% think the S&P 500 is down for the year, and 49% believe unemployment is at a 50-year high. In reality, the S&P 500 is up 12% year-to-date, and the unemployment rate has remained below 4%, a near 50-year low. Furthermore, 72% of respondents think inflation is rising. The poll highlights a significant disconnect between public perception and economic data, suggesting that the Biden administration's economic messaging is not resonating with the public.
