Half of Americans in a poll released Thursday said the U.S. economy is continuing to get worse, despite recent positive indicators.
The CNN poll found that 51 percent of Americans said the economy is still in a downturn and conditions are continuing to worsen, while another 28 percent said an economic recovery has yet to start, but conditions are no longer getting worse.
Just 1 in 5 Americans said the U.S. economy is beginning to recover from its recent problems, according to the poll.
