“Partisan differences remain in views on the national economy” – said the pollsters. “Republicans have a very negative view of the state of the nation’s economy, while Democrats are more closely divided. However, most people, regardless of party affiliation, have a positive view of their finances.”
The AP-NORC survey was a national survey of 1,124 adults conducted online and via telephone interviews between December 1-5, 2022. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
The poll comes after Democrats bucked historic trends in the 2022 midterm elections.

Democrats lost the House of Representatives, but managed to keep Republicans with a 222-seat majority, a remarkable achievement given an unpopular Democratic president in the White House and a deteriorating economy.
