FOX News Poll: Feeling Nervous About the Economy 10/15/07 Quote: NEW YORK — Americans see a nation nervous about the economy these days, and majorities not only rate economic conditions negatively but also say they think things are getting worse. At the same time, most people say they feel confident about their personal financial future and about keeping their jobs.
The national telephone poll was conducted for FOX News by Opinion Dynamics Corp. among 900 registered voters from Oct. 9 to Oct. 10. The poll has a three-point error margin.

A 70 percent majority says they think most Americans are feeling nervous about the nation’s economy, while substantially fewer — 13 percent — think people are feeling confident.
Although Republicans are more than twice as likely to say there is a feeling of confidence, majorities of both Republicans (60 percent) and Democrats (80 percent) think Americans are feeling uneasy about the economy.
Some 32 percent of Americans rate the economy positively (excellent or good), down from 42 percent last year (October 2006). Two-thirds (66 percent) rate it negatively (only fair or poor), including 29 percent who rate it as poor. This is an increase from the 19 percent who said it was in poor condition a year ago.
