NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Most Americans still think the economy is in a recession, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released Monday. In a telephone poll of over 1,000 adult Americans, 75 percent said they believe the nation is now in a recession. That figure was 79 percent in April and 74 percent in March. The sampling error for each poll was plus or minus 3 percentage points, meaning the results are statistically unchanged. Still, the apparent decline marked the first fall for the number since it began a steady rise in October, when only 46 percent of respondents thought the economy was in a recession. |
