The rise of inflation, job market issues, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have voters increasingly worried about another Great Depression.
Rasmussen released new polling showing Americans are more pessimistic about the economy under President Joe Biden.
“Most Americans don’t expect the stock market to rise in the next year, and more than half worry that the U.S. could face another Great Depression,” Rasmussen said. “The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 27% of American Adults believe the stock market will be higher a year from now, while 31% expect the stock market to be lower in a year. Twenty-four percent (24%) think the stock market will be about the same in a year, while 18% are not sure. These findings are a slight improvement from September, when 26% expected the stock market to be higher in a year and 36% thought it would be lower.”
