NEW POLL: Voters see a Worsening Job Situation

More American voters think the nation’s job situation is getting worse rather than better by a 48-39 percent margin according to the latest Fox News poll. 

Last summer, that sentiment was reversed: more people said the job situation was getting better by a five percentage-point margin (44-39 percent in July 2013).

Some voters remain optimistic, however. In the new poll voters under age 35 (by +8 points), blacks (+17 points) and Democrats (+35 points) are more likely to say things are getting better. 

The poll also asks voters about the biggest economic problem facing “people like you.” “Rising prices” (35 percent) was the top response. That’s followed by “unemployment” (24 percent) and “taxes” (22 percent). Few say “housing” is the most important problem (five percent).

Voters under 30 are the only ones who say unemployment (35 percent) trumps rising prices (27 percent) as their top economic concern. The two issues are nearly tied among voters living in households with annual income under $30,000: 38 percent say prices and 34 percent say unemployment.
