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.
It found that 62 percent of respondents believe the U.S. economy is currently in a recession, while just 23 percent think it is not.
Of those who believe the U.S. economy is in a recession, nearly half (47 percent) were Democrats.
Furthermore, the respondents were asked if they agreed with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s statement late last month that “Democrats inherited an economy that was primed for an historic comeback, and promptly ran it straight into the ground.”
Rasmussen found that 59 percent of voters agreed with McConnell’s statement, including 45 percent who strongly agreed with the Kentucky Republican. Thirty-five percent disagreed.
Of those who agreed, 38 percent were Democrats, including 23 percent who “strongly agree,” according to the report.
“Majorities of every racial category—62 percent of whites, 53 percent of black voters, and 67 percent of other minorities—believe the U.S. economy is currently in a recession, ” Rasmussen said in its analysis. “Similarly, 69 percent of whites, 54 percent of black voters, and 63 percent of other minorities say economic issues will be very important in this year’s congressional elections.” Recession or No Recession? The latest survey follows criticism over the Biden administration’s constant downplaying of a recession in the United States, despite the two consecutive quarters of negative growth, which is the generally accepted definition of economic downturn.Pointing to the National Bureau of Economic Research, […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
