Americans See US Economy As Lagging Behind China

A new Allstate/National Journal poll finds that only 20% of Americans believe that the U.S. economy is the world's strongest; nearly half picked China instead. The poll reports: "Looking forward, Americans are somewhat more optimistic about regaining primacy, but still only about one in three expect the U.S. economy to be the world's strongest in 20 years. Nearly three-fifths of those surveyed said that increasing competition from lower-paid workers around the world will keep living standards for average Americans from growing as fast as they did in the past."
