RESEARCH & DATA
Sixty-five percent of Americans now believe we’re in a recession, according to a new Morning Consult poll. Interestingly, this is higher than Americans felt even in 2020, when the country was deep in the throes of a COVID-related recession. And, as with most things today, the results are highly politically polarized, with 78% of Republicans reporting we’re in a recession, compared to 53% of Democrats and 65% of independents.
Economic indicators are currently mixed in the United States — historically low unemployment rates but also high inflation and a too-strong dollar paint a complex picture of this moment. However, what happens next is largely up to consumers, according to Morning Consult:
Some regulators and economists have expressed concerns that recession perceptions may foster the necessary conditions to evoke a slowdown. Robert Shiller last week put the odds of a recession at 50%, but the famed Nobel laureate economist also said he believes it may become a “self-fulfilling prophecy.” Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo recently touted the strength of the U.S. economy but warned that the public should not “be talking ourselves into a recession.”
Be aware of this odd combination of economic conditions and consumer sentiment and be ready to pivot to a recession footing — but not too soon.
