Fifty-five percent of American voters have seen a U.S. economy that has recovered in their own personal experience even as an overwhelming majority believes the country is still experiencing a recession, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released on Monday.
A whopping 75 percent of voters said the national economy remains in a recession, compared with a mere 22 percent who said the recession is over. And while a majority has felt the economic improvements extend to their personal lives, 76 percent of voters described the recovery as a weak one.
