Into a recession
A new Yahoo US/Maru Public Opinion poll finds two-thirds of the vast majority (81%) of Americans believe that the country is either already in (62%) a recession or that one is on the horizon in the next three months (19%). Further, while half (53%) of Americans say they have personally set stricter priorities and reduced their spending in the last month, underpinning all of this economic and pocketbook pessimism is the majority (72%) who believe the economy is headed in the wrong direction.
