As for the economy, 35 percent said they felt that the economy is in "good" condition, rising by 5 percentage points in the last month, while 59 percent said they felt that it is in "bad" condition. When asked about what factors they consider when rating the U.S. economy, respondents listed the price of food and services, gas prices and the impact of the pandemic among the top issues.
