A new poll finds a majority of Americans (54%) think the economy will be better off this year than it was in 2013.
That’s a 5-point jump from this time last year according to the Fox News survey.
The Hill digs into the partisan breakdowns.
A majority of independent voters — 50 percent — believes the economy will improve in a year.
Seventy-seven percent of Democrats predicted an improvement, while 58 percent of Republicans said it will get worse.
The poll was taken earlier this month after the November jobs report found the unemployment rate had fallen to 7 percent, and the economy added more than 200,000 jobs.
