CBS News poll: Americans feel uneasy as economic concerns grow, CBS, 5/22/22

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/cbs-news-poll-americans-feel-uneasy-as-economic-concerns-grow/ar-AAXAbtp?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=1a5db578404346c6a9095a790d167927

% saying economy is bad: November: 64%, Jan: 64%, Mar: 63%,, April: 63%, May: 69%

(so it was flat from November thru April, and then suddenly a 6 percentage point increase. The May numbers are from this poll conducted May 18-20, 2022).

... Most are also pessimistic about their plans for retirement, and on the heels of a stock market downturn, two-thirds of those who have money invested in the market are pessimistic about it.
