(CNS News) -- In its latest survey on economic confidence, Gallup found that 60% of adults believe the U.S. economy is "getting worse" while only 37% think it is "getting better."

In addition, Gallup's Economic Confidence Index fell from -6 in July to -12 in August.  Prior to the start of the COVID pandemic, approximately February-March 2020,  the Economic Confidence Index was at a positive 41, and had been in the positive range going back to early 2019.
