“There is also this relationship between how you think your country has handled coronavirus and how you think the economy is doing.” “Canada is where we saw the largest uptick in negative assessments of the economy … but it’s 27 per cent who said that they thought the current economic situation was bad in Canada in 2019,” she said. “That’s among the lowest of the countries we surveyed – only in Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden was that percentage lower last year.”
“But even , GDP is expected to contract by roughly 5 per cent in 2020, and Swedes are 11 percentage points more likely to think economic conditions in their country are poor than in 2019,” the Pew report says. Canada also stood out in the study for another reason: it was one of only two countries where researchers saw a correlation between income levels and a negative view of the economy.
