More voters for the first time say the U.S. economy is getting worse than better since President Trump’s election amid rising recession fears, according to a new poll.
In the Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday, 37 percent of respondents said the U.S. economy was deteriorating, 31 percent said it was improving and 30 percent said the forecast was holding steady.
The new numbers show a significant slide in voters’ confidence in the economy after two months of escalating trade tensions, slowing global growth, a U.S. manufacturing recession and a flight to safety in financial markets.
