Americans largely pessimistic about US prospects in 2023

Gallup/Megan Brenan/1-3-2023

“When offered opposing outcomes on each issue, about eight in 10 U.S. adults think 2023 will be a year of economic difficulty with higher rather than lower taxes and a growing rather than shrinking budget deficit. More than six in 10 think prices will rise at a high rate and the stock market will fall in the year ahead, both of which happened in 2022. In addition, just over half of Americans predict that unemployment will increase in 2023, an economic problem the U.S. was spared in 2022.”

USAGOLD note: Gallup’s annual assessment of American sentiment…”Americans,” says the polling company, “are greeting 2023 with great skepticism and little expectation that the economic struggles that closed out 2022 will abate.”
