Majorities in both parties think the economy is not good, with only 44% of Republicans and 10% of Democrats thinking the economy is excellent or good.

Inflation has mellowed but remains elevated, and hiring remains slow, with costs like groceries and housing still high, and credit tight.
Most Republicans think President Trump's policies are either having no impact or making the economy worse, with 53% holding this view, and the share of Republicans who expect the economy to be better next year is rapidly declining.
