An overwhelming number of Americans believe the economy is in a recession—and blame the Democrats, according to a new survey from Rasmussen Reports.

The survey of 1,000 U.S. likely voters was conducted on July 28 and 31, 2022, and has a margin of sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.
