Americans are cutting back on spending amid economic concerns.

Americans are deeply negative on the economy with nearly 8 in 10 Americans rating the economy poorly.

Late July polling from the Associated Press and NORC found that 41% of Americans said they were concerned about being able to afford groceries over the next few months, up from 24% in April. Nearly half of Americans said the cost of groceries was a major source of stress.
