Americans are increasingly concerned over the economy and poor government leadership and are less concerned with the coronavirus, according to a poll released Monday.
A new Gallup poll taken November 1-16 shows 10 per cent of respondents feel 'the economy in general' is the biggest issue facing the nation – another 7 per cent said they are most worried about 'inflation'. Those numbers are up from 6 per cent and 1 per cent, respectively.
Unemployment concerns are at 5 per cent this month, which is up from 4 per cent in both the September and October polls.
The new worries come as inflation spikes, worker shortages continue and supply chain delays persist going into the holiday season.
