Hispanics (77%) are more likely than the U.S. population overall (66%) to believe the recession has ended and that the economy has stabilized, according to Ipsos and Telemundo. That includes 14% and 11% of each group, respectively, that believes the economy is improving. Two in 10 Hispanics (20%) think the worst is yet to come, compared to 31% of all Americans.
Hispanics living in the West are more likely than average believe the economy is improving (17%) and less likely than average to think it will get worse before it gets better (16%). Hispanic women (68%) are more likely than Hispanic men (58%) to think the economy has stabilized.
Perhaps because of the news coverage they view, Hispanics who prefer to watch TV in Spanish (17%) are more likely than those who prefer to watch in English (10%) to think the economy is improving. [Consumer Spending & Attitudes]
