Six in 10 See a Recession;
Stimulus Plan Draws Skepticism

Six in 10 Americans think the economy‘s already in a recession – and  
two-thirds doubt that a government stimulus package will soften the  
blow.

Those and other broadly negative views underscore current public  
anxiety about the nation’s economy. Eighty-one percent in this ABC  
News/Washington Post poll say it’s in bad shape, the most since 1993.  
And half see a “long-term decline” rather than a normal correction in  
a basically solid economic system.
