PRINCETON, NJ -- Public perceptions of the nation's economy remain fairly gloomy, with a strong dose of doom about where it is headed. According to Gallup Poll Daily tracking from March 7-9, 39% of Americans consider current economic conditions "poor" and 82% believe they are getting worse. -- Lydia Saad
