Abstract

Only one in five Vermonters say they are better off financially than a year ago and few expect to be better off a year from now. Four in ten say they struggled at least somewhat to afford necessities in the past year, and nearly half say they have put off a major purchase because of higher costs. A slim majority think it is likely that the national economy will enter a recession within the next year or is already in one. Perceptions of the economy vary by partisanship and household income - Republicans and those with lower incomes are far more pessimistic than Democrats and those with higher incomes about their personal finances and the wider economy.
