The media is chanting America is on the road to recovery. However, they need to try and convince the majority of Americans with that stupid rhetoric because the public isn't buying into it. Destruction of the dollar, true high unemployment, high gas prices, and out of control spending won't convince the American people we are doing okay.
(Reuters) - More than half of Americans say the U.S. economy is in a recession or a depression despite official data that show a moderate recovery, according to a poll released on Thursday.
The April 20-23 Gallup survey of 1,013 U.S. adults found that only 27 percent said the economy is growing. Twenty-nine percent said the economy is in a depression and 26 percent said it is in a recession, with another 16 percent saying it is "slowing down," Gallup said.
The poll findings have a 4 percentage point margin of error, according to Gallup.
The health of the U.S. economy is expected to be a major issue as President Barack Obama, a Democrat, seeks re-election in 2012.
