Americans Optimistic About Their Local Economy

| Jul 25, 2012 | Housing Market

A recent Gallup poll found that Americans are more optimistic when asked about their local economy than they are when asked to assess the economic condition of the world as a whole.

The poll found that positive feelings toward local economic conditions didn’t differ significantly from region to region, though the western states were the most pessimistic about their economy.
