Economic direction — right/wrong track

Economic direction — right/wrong track polling shows a consistent majority of Americans view the economy as getting worse. Civiqs's July 4 reading ^[1] puts 59% saying the economy is getting worse and 26% getting better, figures that have held steady across every Civiqs release since mid-June. YouGov's June 29 poll ^[2] shows a similar 54% worse vs. 20% better. Across both pollsters, the "getting worse" share has ranged between 54–60% throughout the period, while "getting better" has stayed in the 20–26% range with no meaningful trend in either direction.
