Pew survey: Americans and many Europeans gloomy about economy, but the Chinese are sunny about theirs.
By PAUL WISEMAN, AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans, Japanese and many Europeans are glum about their national economies. By contrast, Chinese, Indians and Australians feel positive about theirs.
Those are among the findings from a survey of 20,132 people in 16 countries by the Pew Research Center. Just 44 percent of Americans rated the U.S. economy as “good,” although that proportion has risen steadily from 18 percent in 2011.
